Sexuality Policy Watch (SPW) has just launched its new website. Aside from up-to-date information about SPW's programs and activities, the website contains links to relevant sites that provide analysis and data on a gamut of research and advocacy initiatives from around the world that are engaged with sexuality, health, and human rights work at both global and local levels.

SPW is a global forum composed of researchers and activists from a wide range of countries and regions of the world. It was constituted in 2002 as the International Working Group on Sexuality and Social Policy (IWGSSP). In August 2006, in a meeting in Toronto, SPW decided to adopt its current name so as to more precisely project the image of who they are and what they do.
