Sexuality, Society and Science: Evidence and Facts

Lisbon. A secular city full of contradictions, achievements and tensions.

A multicultural city, shaped by diversity but also divergence.  Lisbon’s  geography- in between the ocean and its beaches, the broad river, the hills, and the vast southern bucolic plains- reveals its inherent and implicit soundtrack:  brightness, rhythm, joy, contemplation but, also, poverty, inequality, sadness and longing.

Lisbon is the capital city of Portugal, a country whose sexologists have for decades striven locally and globally in defense of sexual and reproductive rights.

Portugal, whose sexology pioneers laid the groundwork for the next generation to build a thriving, internationally acclaimed sexology in various areas: sexual rights, policy-making, clinical work, education and research.

Lisbon’s contradictions and possibilities have been the stage for a vibrant city full of voices eager to be heard and attended to. Bring your voice.
