Affirming Sexual Freedom as a Fundamental Human Right
Sexual Freedom Day 2010
Sexual Freedom Day
On September 23, 2010, the 172nd birthday of our namesake, Victoria Woodhull, the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance celebrated the first official “Sexual Freedom Day”, awarded the first “Vicki” Sexual Freedom Awards, and released the first State of Sexual Freedom in the U.S. report.
The Event
The 2010 day-long program reflected Woodhull’s mission to affirm sexual freedom as a fundamental human right, highlighting the intersections between government policy and lawmaking, marriage, reproductive rights, personal relationships, child rearing, sexual orientation, gender identification, sexual speech and expression, and sexual practice. Attention was also drawn to sex work, sexual health and rights and integration of sex and religion.
The 2011 program will include a Sexual Freedom Gala the evening of September 23, 2011, hosted by Carol Queen and Nina Hartley and featuring the fun and fabulous voice of Pamala Stanley.
