Overview

Women's sexual health is a component of overall reproductive and general health that encompasses the physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality across a woman's life. It includes the capacity to have safe and satisfying sexual experiences, free from coercion, discrimination, and violence, and it intersects with topics such as sexual function and desire, contraception, the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, reproductive choices, menstrual and hormonal health, and access to respectful, comprehensive care. Sexual health is shaped not only by biological factors but also by relationships, psychological well-being, social context, and the availability of healthcare and accurate information. As a journal focused on women's reproductive health, this page is supported by relevant work that addresses access to and barriers within sexual and reproductive healthcare. Peer-reviewed studies indexed here include research on addressing barriers to sexual and reproductive healthcare for lesbians, bisexual women, and sex workers in Rivers State, Nigeria, an examination of advances in the sexual and reproductive rights of adolescents in Brazil, and a study of access to comprehensive healthcare for survivors of sexual violence. Together these open-access articles reflect the equity, rights, and access dimensions of women's sexual health, consistent with the journal's reproductive health scope.
