There will be a drinks reception following the event.

This event will bring together academics, human rights activists, health professionals, youth activists, private sector and other experts to discuss issues around human rights and sexual pleasure from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The discussion will focus on rights and positive sexuality in the context of sexual, gender and bodily diversity, age, disability, culture, education, religion, non-discrimination and to be free from violence. It will be an interactive discussion among the panelists and the audience.

The event is free and open to all. The panel discussion will also be livestreamed here and made available to watch after the event.
