A flight to the Midnight Sun

19^th World Congress for Sexual Health

The conference theme, Sexual Health & Rights: A Global Challenge, reflects the 8 priorities of the WAS Declaration for the Millennium and echoes the urgent need for action to ensure sexual health and rights for all. The WAS Congress is held every two years, and brings together the outstanding clinicians, researchers, educators, activists and policy makers from around the globe to share knowledge on the diverse and often controversial issues of contemporary sexual health. Sweden has always played a pioneering role in promoting sexual education, health and equality. Furthermore, a grant from the Swedish Government will enable participants to attend from many developing countries where the AIDS crisis severely impacts sexual health, and where basic sexual rights in areas such as education, healthcare and individual choice are largely unrecognized. The lively city of Göteborg is the largest harbor in Scandinavia and offers everything you would expect to find in a major city: cultural events, historical and natural landmarks, beautiful parks, fine restaurants, shopping and entertainment.

We look forward welcoming you at the 19^th WAS World Congress!
