Regardless of their marital status,
women of all ages have a right to sexual
health, defined by the World Health
Organization (WHO) as a state of
physical, mental and social well-being
in the sphere of sexuality. Intrinsic to
the right to sexual health are a positive
and respectful approach to sexuality
and sexual relationships, as well as the
possibility of having sexual experiences
that are pleasurable and safe, free from
coercion, discrimination, violence and
disease
