The Women of Color Sexual Health Network (WOCSHN) is a group of women, both domestic and international, with a focus on the sexual and reproductive health needs of women of color.
WOCSHN creates opportunities for the inclusion of women of color in the field of sexuality, sexology, and sexual health; challenges the White supremacy these fields were built upon. We task our colleagues to recognize we exist as thriving experts and support our legacy in the field.
This working group began at the 41st Annual AASECT Conference by 18 women of color attendees from various backgrounds but similar passions.
