We are thrilled to invite you to a dynamic and engaging webinar co-hosted by Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters (SRHM), The Pleasure Project and the Agents of Ishq, in commemoration of World Sexual Health Day.
This is a uniquely significant occasion: we’re launching The Pleasure Project and Agents of Ishq’s editorial and the first Special Collection of the SRHM Journal on sexual pleasure. With over 30 years of advocacy and research combined, we’re bringing you a wealth of knowledge and excitement.
Why Attend?
- Insightful Discussions: Hear from feminist researchers, pleasure activists, and the brilliant authors behind the collection.
- Innovative Approaches: Break away from the traditional view of sexual life as mostly risky, fraught with disease, shame, and constant threats and embrace a radical understanding of pleasure as political.
- Global Expertise: Learn about pleasure from a global perspective through local, lived experiences.
Who are we?
- Agents of Ishq (AOI) is a pathbreaking multimedia comprehensive sexuality education project enabling conversations about about sex, love and desire for young Indians in English and Hindi, across online and offline spaces. Using a feminist, arts-based approach, AOI shifts conversations about sex and sexual life from culturally polarised, negative and shame-fostering to pleasure-positive, honest, rooted and inclusive.
- The Pleasure Project builds bridges between the public health world and the pleasure and sex industry, and helps to develop the evidence base for a sex-positive and pleasure-based approach to sexual health and rights. The Pleasure Project has been putting the sexy into safer sex for twenty years and are the leading global voice advocating for pleasure based sexual health.
- Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters is the only global organisation linked to a scientific, highly reputed journal in the field of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) that provides an independent voice, has a long-time, trusted reputation, and offers space to a truly global network of researchers, policy makers, programme managers, lawyers and activists in the field of SRH.
We believe that rights- and evidence-based knowledge is power.
