Toward a democratic right to sexuality

This essay grew out of a series of activities developed by CLAM, the Latin American Center for Sexuality and Human Rights, to develop a multidisciplinary perspective on sexuality. In addition to CLAM’s database on sexuality, its reports on sexual policy in Brazil and its work on sexuality in the Social Sciences in Brazil, the present article aims to reflect upon sexual rights from the perspective of the Brazilian legal debate. It does not
supply the reader with an exhaustive listing of all the subjects and problems engendered by sexual rights, or make an inventory of Brazilian authors and considerations on the subject; rather, it presents the main elements for the development of a rigorous legal approach towards human rights in the field of sexuality, while considering the current status of this debate on the national scene.This article aims at a systematization to introduce foundations for a broader and more coherent legal debate regarding sexual rights, by enunciating the fundamental principles of human rights as applied to issues raised by sexual rights. Its purpose is, therefore, to collaborate towards the advancement of the legal debate on sexuality from a human rights perspective (AU)
