Sexuality, Health and Human

Rights

This new work surveys how rapid changes taking place at the start of the

twenty-ﬁrst century in social, cultural, political and economic domains

impact on sexuality, health and human rights. The relationships between

men, women and children are changing quickly, as are traditional family

structures and gender norms. What were once viewed as private matters

have become public, and an array of new social movements – transgender,

intersex, sex worker, people living with HIV – have come into the open.

The book is split into three parts:

• Global ‘sex’ wars – discusses the notion of sexualities, its political

landscapes internationally, and the return of religious fervour and

extremism.

• Epistemological challenges and research agendas – examines modern

‘scientiﬁc’ understandings of sexuality, its history and the way in

which HIV and AIDS have drawn attention to sexuality.

• The promises and limits of sexual rights – discusses human rights

approaches to sexuality, its strengths and limitations and new ways of

imagining erotic justice.

Offering a unique framework for understanding this new world, set in the

context of the major theoretical debates of recent decades, this book will

be of interest to professionals, advocates and policy researchers, and is

suitable for a wide range of courses covering areas such as gender studies,

human sexuality, public health and social policy.

This new series of books offers cutting-edge analysis, current theoretical

perspectives and up-to-the-minute ideas concerning the interface between

sexuality, public health, human rights, culture and social development. It

adopts a global and interdisciplinary perspective in which the needs of

poorer countries are given equal status to those of richer nations. The

books are written with a broad range of readers in mind, and will be

invaluable to students, academics and those working in policy and prac-

tice. The series also aims to serve as a spur to practical action in an

increasingly globalized world.
