World Association for Sexual Health (WAS)

Since 1978, the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) has been the pre-eminent global organization concerned with sexual health and rights. Our membership represents thousands of experienced as well as trainee sexologists from a variety of disciplines. 

With biennial congresses held in different regions of the world, WAS has facilitated sexual health through education, health promotion and networking for over three decades. In the recent years, WAS has also become involved in advocating changes in public policy, to recognize sexual health and rights as key ingredients in overall health and social justice. 

Financial support from individuals, foundations, corporations, and governments has sustained this work around the world.
