The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU)
RFSU is a pioneering non-governmental Swedish organisation working with sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Through knowledge, mobilisation and policy advocacy, RFSU contributes to a world in which everyone is free to enjoy, and make decisions about their own bodies and sexuality.
What we do in Sweden
- We advance and share knowledge to change norms about the body, sexuality, and relationships. This is done through our clinic as well as other sex education and training programs.
- We meet with politicians, organise conferences, participate in panels and debates, and appear in the media.
- We are a member based organisation with approximately 17 local branches across the country.
- We publish Ottar – Sweden’s largest sexual politics themed magazine.
- We own the company RFSU AB that offers products within health, sex, intimacy, body and well-being.
What we do internationally
- At an international level, RFSU advocates for sexual and reproductive health and rights in Swedish foreign and development policy as well as at the EU, the United Nations and other important institutions.
- We support close to 50 partners and networks that drive change for sexual and reproductive rights in Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.
- We are a member, and also one of the founders, of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). IPPF is an umbrella organisation that brings together SRHR organisations throughout the world.
