| Sex and sexuality have always had a place at the heart of the development agenda - from concerns regarding population and environment, to practices in education and efforts for protecting reproductive health and rights. Yet this agenda has largely focused on negative dimensions of sexuality - disease, risk, violation - rather than positive aspects, including rights to sexual fulfillment, wellbeing and pleasure. The shift towards a rights-based approach to development has brought the human rights dimensions of sexuality into clearer view, and consequently the need to address discriminatory laws and violations of the human rights of those whose sexual identity and practices diverge from dominant sexual orders/norms. This book offers compelling insights into contemporary challenges and transformative possibilities of the struggle for sexual rights. It combines the conceptual with the political, and offering inspiring examples of practical interventions and campaigns that emphasize the positive dimensions of sexuality. It brings together reflections and experiences of researchers, activists and practitioners from Brazil, India, Nigeria, Peru, Serbia, South Africa, Turkey, the UK and Zambia. From political discourse on sex and masculinity to sex work and trafficking, from HIV and sexuality to struggles for legal reform and citizenship, the authors explore the gains of creating stronger linkages between sexuality, human rights and development. In dieser Dokumentation eines vom schwedischen Außenministerium veranstalteten Symposiums analysieren WissenschafterInnen und AktivistInnen für sexuelle Rechte aus Entwicklungsländern und Industriestaaten die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Rechten auf selbstbestimmte Sexualität, Menschenrechten und Entwicklung. Sexuelle Rechte seien heute in einigen Ländern zunehmend umstritten, schreiben die Herausgeberinnen, die "Sexkriege" würden auch auf der Ebene der UNO ausgetragen. Es sei jedoch wichtig, sexuelle Rechte im Zusammenhang mit Menschenrechten zu betrachten. "Sexuelle Rechte umfassen Menschenrechte, die schon in nationalen Rechten und internationalen Menschenrechtsstandards anerkannt wurden", betont etwa die Amnesty International-Mitarbeiterin Kate Sheill, auch wenn sie nicht explizit als sexuelle Rechte festgeschrieben seien. In insgesamt zwanzig Beiträgen werden die vielfältigen Facetten sexistischer Diskriminierung und ihre negativen Auswirkungen auf die Eindämmung von AIDS und die Realisierung der von der Staatengemeinschaft akkordierten Entwicklungsziele ausgeleuchtet.
