關鍵概述-性健康的含義

什麼是性健康？

迄今為止，至少有四種“官方”的性健康定義：

  1. 1975年，世界衛生組織 (WHO)在一個報告裏就健康保健專業人員的性科學培訓提出了第一個性健康定義。
  2. 2001年，世界衛生組織(WHO)與泛美衛生組織 (PAHO) 以及世界性學會(WAS)合作的第二個報告強化了這個性健康的定義。
  3. 同樣在2001年，美國衛生部長辦公室（the US Surgeon General）發佈了促進性健康與負責任的性行為行動倡議。在這個檔裏，實際上採納了早先由世界衛生組織提出的性健康定義。
  4. 2002年，世界衛生組織在其網站的性別與生殖權利的一節中發佈了一個經過修改的精確的性健康定義。
這些性健康的定義在許多方面已經證明非常有成效。但是，它們也遭到了質疑。

 
Critical Introduction - The Meaning of Sexual Health

What is Sexual Health?

As of today, there are at least four "official" definitions of sexual health:

  1. The World Health Organization (WHO), in 1975, provided a first definition in a report about the sexological training of health professionals.
  2. This was augmented in a second report of  2001 which resulted from the cooperation of the WHO with the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) and the World Association of Sexology (WAS).
  3. Also in 2001, the US Surgeon General issued A Call to Action to Promote Sexual Health and Responsible Sexual Behavior. In this document, he practically adopted the previous definitions provided by the WHO.
  4. In 2002, the WHO published a refined and amended definition on its web site section on gender and reproductive rights.

These definitions have proved useful in many respects. However, they have also encountered criticism.
