World Sexual Health Day North America

Hosted by Stanford University
Co-hosted by the Weiland Health Initiative

Eliminating Sexual Health Myths

On Thursday, September 29th, 2016 Stanford University welcomed North America’s fourth annual celebration of World Sexual Health Day. The event was our most successful thus far with more than 200 professionals as well as enthusiasts in attendance. The feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive: “Informative", “insightful", "blew my mind”, “I want to be involved”, “Interactive”, “so much to absorb”, “so much fun for a change”….

2016 Event Highlights

THURSDAY
SEPTEMBER 29, 2016

THURSDAY
SEPTEMBER 29, 2016

Our panel featured 6 speakers representing varying fields including sexual and gender diversities and intersex and asexuality. The topic of focus was to address sexual myths around the world, unspoken myths, myths about intersexuality, asexuality, misconceptions about sexual assault, women’s' sexual pleasure and misconceptions about masculinity and vulnerability.

We raised donations for WAS through ticket sales which will support its global mission in making sexual health and rights a reality for more people around the world. In addition to opening conversations and connecting communities we hope that this type of fundraising during WSHD events will continue and become a widespread practice among other organizing committees. To learn more and receive support for your 2017 strategic planning from the Global Committee please write to worldsexualhealthday@gmail.com

WSHD is a brilliant way to connect with a wider audience and spread the message that together we can make a solid and global representation for sexual health and well-being for all to join and be inspired by.
