Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance

Since 2003, Woodhull has been working to ensure that sexual rights are secured because they are fundamental human rights!  

Our mission is to affirm sexual freedom as a fundamental human right. 

As the nation’s leading sexual freedom and human rights organization, honored by Proclamation in Washington, DC, we are uniquely positioned to bring together allies and partners, thereby maximizing our effectiveness and theirs. Together, with your support, we can move mountains!

What do we do, you ask?

• We host Woodhull's Sexual Freedom Summit, the only Sexual Freedom Summit – the event where all of the personal and political elements of the sexual freedom movement come together.  And this year, 2014, we’re bringing you even more of the fabulous discussions, trainings, networking events, and extended Institutes than ever before.

 

We’ll talk about the denial of our identities, relationships and families, the undermining of our health care, and reduction of our access to sexuality education, as well as the criminalization of our sexual expression and pleasure.

But we’ll also be talking about how to create the change we want to see in these and other areas.

• We run the Family Matters Project, which is dedicated to advancing and protecting the fundamental human right to family by eliminating discrimination based on family structure and relationship choices.

• We lobby at the State and local levels for sexual freedom, ensuring that the issues include a focus on human rights that is often missing from political debates. This includes:
  • Anti-shackling legislation: We successfully Ended shackling of incarcerated women in labor in Florida through our collaboration with the Florida ACLU;
  • Prostitution-free zones;
  • No condoms as evidence;

• We work collaboratively with other organizations, even at the level of the United Nations, to advance and affirm sexual freedom as a fundamental human right.

• We conduct trainings and provide workshops on the integration of the human rights framework into existing advocacies.

• We present Vicki Awards to recognize phenomenal individuals for their extraordinary personal achievements in advancing sexual rights and freedom.
