health requires a positive and respectful approach to
sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the
possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual
experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and
violence. For sexual health to be attained and
maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be
respected, protected and fulfilled.”
