Sexuality Policy Watch

Sexuality Policy Watch (SPW) is a global forum of researchers and activists working on sexual rights issues and policies across the world. The forum was launched in 2002 as the International Working Group on Sexuality and Social Policy (IWGSSP), but changed its name to Sexuality Policy Watch in 2006.
Since its inception, SPW has conducted research on trends in sexuality, advocated to prevent violence against women, built partnerships with sexual rights groups, and published key policy analyses. Thus, together with the Latin American Committee for the Rights of Women /Brazil (CLADEM), the Commission for Citizenship and Reproduction (CCR), PROMSEX - Center for the Promotion and Defense of Sexual and Reproductive Rights and the National Rapporteurship for the Human Right to Sexual and Reproductive Health in Brazil, SPW published a report investigating press claims in 2012 about the earlier forced sterilisation campaigns in Peru.
SPW is hosted at the Brazilian Interdisciplinary AIDS association or Associação Brasileira Interdisciplinar de AIDS (ABIA) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The SPW co-chairs are Sonia Corrêa from Brazil and Richard Parker from USA.
