WHISE is pleased to deliver a series of webinars on LGBTQ sexual and reproductive health for practitioners and policymakers in health promotion, healthcare provision and health program design and implementation. The series will provide an enhanced understanding of sexual and reproductive health outcomes of people in the LGBTQ community, with a view to improving access to inclusive and equitable health information and services.

LGBTQ women and gender diverse people experience healthcare barriers in receiving accurate diagnosis and timely treatment for a range of sexual and reproductive health conditions. Sexual and reproductive health promotion information also tends to be heteronormative and cis-gendered, with a focus on contraceptive counselling and fertility or infertility. As a result, women and gender diverse people in the LGBTQ community can experience poorer sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Inclusive care and health promotion, with a focus on body parts and sexual practices rather than binary sex, gender and sexuality identities, can support improved health outcomes.

Join us to learn more about:

The social determinants of sexual and reproductive health outcomes of people in the LGBTIQ community
The barriers and enablers to sexual and reproductive health promotion information and services for LGBTQ communities
How to provide appropriate and inclusive sexual and reproductive health services and/or health promotion information for LGBTQ community members and
Key resources and current initiatives addressing LGBTQ sexual health needs.

Please note that this webinar is the third in a series.

At this webinar, we will be examine the heteronormative nature of the fertility industry, along with experiences of fertility and infertility within the LGBTQ community, as well as reproductive health issues such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome and pelvic pain.

Presenters to be confirmed shortly.
