This year’s Choices focusses on the SRHR of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people in Europe.
“IPPF European Network, as a sexual and reproductive health and rights organization, can and should reinforce its attention to LGBT issues by becoming more active and inclusive in its services and advocacy actions”, says Vicky Claeys, Regional Director of The International Planned Parenthood Federation European Network (IPPF EN). “After all, our vision says that we want to see a world where every individual is healthy; where sex and sexuality are recognized as fundamental and precious parts of human life; where sexual and reproductive choices are respected; and where diversity is valued and celebrated.”
The magazine gives an overview of the SRHR issues and concerns affecting LGBT people as well as the positive initiatives taken by various groups working for change including some of the activities developed by IPPF EN Member Associations. There is particular focus on international and European civil and political rights mechanisms including the more recent International Yogyakarta Principles as well as focus on transgender issues and questions relating to parenting and sexualities equality in education.
