Politics of Sexuality
The politics of sexuality addresses, and often challenges, the social organisation of sexuality. Sexuality is not defined by nature, nor is it simply an individual matter. Sexuality as a political phenomenon involves a wide variety of issues including, for example, the representation of sexuality, sex education, hierarchies of sexual acts, individual freedom, reproductive rights, sex work and sexual identities.
