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.[1][2][3] The forum was launched in 2002 by the academics Sonia Corrêa, Rosalind P. Petchesky and Richard G. Parker.[4][5] as the International Working Group on Sexuality and Social Policy (IWGSSP), but changed its name to Sexuality Policy Watch in 2006.[6]
Since its inception, SPW has conducted research on trends in sexuality, advocated to prevent violence against women,[7] built partnerships with sexual rights groups, and published key policy analyses.[8][9] 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.[10]
SPW is hosted at the Brazilian Interdisciplinary AIDS association or Associação Brasileira Interdisciplinar de AIDS (ABIA) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[11]
The SPW co-chairs are Sonia Corrêa from Brazil and Richard Parker from USA.[12][13]
