The World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) commends the Gujarat High Court’s recent statement recognising that non-consensual sex within marriage constitutes rape and calls for the abolition of the marital rape exemption in India’s penal code.
The World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) strongly condemns the decision by India’s Supreme Court to reinstate Section 377 of the Penal Code, effectively re-criminalising consensual same-sex relations between adults.
he World Association for Sexual Health (WAS) unequivocally rejects recent remarks allegedly made by India’s Health Minister suggesting that homosexuality is a “disease.” Such statements are scientifically baseless and dangerously reinforce stigma, discrimination, and misinformation about sexual diversity.
