This year’s World Sexual Health Day (WSHD) Theme is Consent!
Mark your calendars for September 4th, 2023!
Consent is a crucial element of any healthy sexual encounter, and we must educate ourselves and others on what it means, how to express it, and how to obtain it. In addition, it is essential to respect and value everyone’s autonomy and choices in sexual matters, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or any other factor.
As WSHD 2023 approaches, we encourage you to start planning how to get involved and positively impact your community.
Together, we can raise awareness, reduce stigma, and improve access to essential sexual health resources. Let’s work towards a healthier, happier world with Sexual Health, Rights, Justice, and Pleasure for All!

Día Mundial de la Salud Sexual
In 2010, the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) called all their organizations to celebrate, on each September 4th, the World Sexual Health Day (WSHD) in an effort to promote a greater social awareness on sexual health across the globe. The first World Sexual Health Day was celebrated with the slogan “Let’s talk about it!” to start breaking fears and taboos surrounding sexuality.
World Sexual Health Day has been celebrated in 60 countries with a wide range of activities from Round Tables of Discussion to Conferences and Art Exhibitions. Country organizers have taken WSHD activities to schools, media, hospitals, libraries, universities, public squares, art halls, theatre groups, etc. WAS wants to ensure that sexual health issues are discussed everywhere! Past topics of World Sexual Health Day are:
