About the talk
Sexual rights and sexual pleasure are missing from the Sustainable Development Goals’ focus on sexual and reproductive health. Why does this matter, and who does it matter for? CGSHE resident faculty and Peter Wall Institute International Visiting Research Scholar, Dr. Carmen Logie explores how these missing discourses can perpetuate sexual health inequities toward sexually and gender diverse persons, and sex workers, in diverse global contexts. She also examine frameworks and innovative methods for addressing these gaps in global sexual health research.
