On 31 March, the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) joins individuals and organisations across the globe in honouring the International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV). First observed in 2009, TDOV celebrates the resilience, diversity, and achievements of transgender and gender-diverse people while drawing attention to the ongoing discrimination, violence, and systemic barriers they face.
The World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) strongly condemns the passage of Uganda’s anti-LGBT legislation on 21 March 2023, which criminalises same-sex conduct and imposes severe penalties including the death sentence for “aggravated homosexuality” and life imprisonment for consensual same-sex relations.
The World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) strongly condemns Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act, a law that criminalises consensual same-sex relationships and imposes harsh penalties rooted in stigma and misinformation.
The World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) strongly condemns the enactment of Brunei’s new sharia-based penal code, which imposes degrading and inhumane punishment — such as death by stoning — for consensual same-sex sexual activity.
The World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) strongly condemns Nigeria’s Prohibition of Same-Sex Marriage Bill, which imposes harsh penalties—including up to 14 years in prison — for same-sex marriage, cohabitation, or advocacy.
