關鍵概述-性健康的含義

什麼是性健康?

舉例:性權利-聯合國人權宣言

不巧的是,聯合國1948年的人權宣言沒有提及性權利。當時,人們總是抨擊這種疏忽,不過自此以後也沒有什麼改進。
甚至到了今天,人權宣言也未獲聯合國大會通過。

這種含蓄的局面意味著,有人並不允許大多數人按照世界衛生組織關於性健康的定義達到性健康。然而,這種無人理睬的、即使不可避免的結果也是值得質疑的。如果把這種人權宣言運用于現代西方多元價值標準社會,那麼這是否公平,是否常常會顯得過於陳腐,難道是文明的?

  1998年,聯合國人權宣言50周年紀念。

 The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights had its 50th anniversary in 1998.

1951年,居住和工作在泰國的法裔法官René GuyonIn撰寫了一本抨擊聯合國人權宣言的宣傳冊,認為宣言未做到保護性權利。

In 1951, the French-born judge René Guyon, who lived and worked in Thailand, wrote a brochure attacking the UN for their failure to protect sexual rights.

Critical Introduction - The Meaning of Sexual Health

What is Sexual Health?

Example: Sexual Rights - UN Declaration of Human Rights

It is no coincidence that the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights of 1948 does not mention sexual rights. This omission was already criticized at the time, but since then little has changed.
Even today, no declaration of universal sexual rights could  be passed by the UN general assembly.

This means, by implication, that the largest part of humanity is not allowed to be sexually healthy according to the latest WHO definition. However, this unspoken, if inevitable conclusion is problematic, too. Is it really justified to apply  modern Western criteria of right and wrong  to very different, and often much older, cultures?
