To mark the occasion, WHO will host a Live Q&A across its social media channels (Youtube, Facebook, LinkedIn, X) at 2 pm CEST, featuring Dr Lianne Gonsalves, WHO Scientist, Dr Anand Patel, medical doctor and specialist in sexual function, and Leeza Mangaldas, Sexuality Educator. The discussion will touch on a range of important topics including stigma and taboos, consent, gender equality, pleasure, and management and prevention of sexual health problems.
Then at 3 pm CEST, join a webinar focusing on the effect of pregnancy on sexual health.
