World Sexual Health Day is celebrated annually on September 4 to raise awareness about the importance of sexual health, rights, justice, and pleasure for all. The theme for 2025 is Sexual Justice: What Can We Do? This year, the observance has four focus areas under the main theme of sexual justice: sexual rights, reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ adolescents, and access to information. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) support initiatives in these areas to make sexual health a reality for everyone, everywhere.
