Overview
Foreningen Sex and Samfund, is a longstanding proponent of quality sex education for all in Denmark and globally with a focus on 1) promotion of family planning; 2) sexual well-being; 3) reproductive health; and 4) sexual knowledge as an integral part of personal and social life and as a human right. Sex and Samfund is recognized by the Danish government as a partner in issues related to sexual and reproductive rights, nationally and internationally. These funds will enable Sex and Samfund to integrate population issues into the outcome documents at the Rio +20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012 which will offer a crucial opportunity to advance population and sexual and reproductive health issues. Denmark is uniquely positioned for participation in the Rio +20 policy dialogue because Denmark holds the Presidency of the European Union through June 2012. Sex and Samfund is the International Planned Parenthood Member Association in Denmark.
