Discourses of human rights have permeated the politics of many social justice struggles, including the movement against the oppression of diverse sexualities. There has been a significant expansion over the last decade of research, writing and discussion about the concept of sexual rights, the primary concept that links sex and sexuality with the broader human rights agenda.
This module offers a critical overview of sexual rights and examines how sexual rights are currently understood, discussed and used. Questions are raised on whether sexual rights are sufficient to achieve sexual justice and whether the use of rights-based discourses have unintended consequences. What are the best strategies for using a rights-based discourse while avoiding negative consequences?
