World Sexual Health Day is central to and an important celebration of advancing the mission of WAS and creating a world where sexual health is optimized for all.

The 2025 theme for World Sexual Health Day is Sexual Justice: What Can We Do?

Sexual justice exists when all people have the power and resources to make free and healthy decisions about their bodies, sexuality, and reproduction, and have equal access to sexual health services, including education and care. Sexual justice means building a world where everyone can experience sexual health, rights, and pleasure, free from discrimination, violence, or exclusion.

This year, WSHD has four focus areas under the main theme of sexual justice:

The first focus area is Sexual Rights. The core message for this focus area is that sexual justice is essential for the achievement of sexual health, rights, and pleasure for all people without discrimination, fear, shame, and stigma.

The second is Sexual and Reproductive Rights. The core message for this focus area is that sexual justice means protecting and promoting the right to bodily autonomy and reproductive choice for everyone and everywhere.

The third is LGBTQ+ Adolescents: Transgender, Gender-Diverse, Gay & Lesbian Youth. The core message for this focus area is that sexual justice means affirming and defending the rights, dignity, needs, and identities of all LGBTQ+ people, especially trans, non-binary, gay, and lesbian adolescents.

The fourth is Access to Information. The core message for this focus area is that sexual justice means ensuring access to accurate, uncensored, evidence-based information about sexuality and health.
