 In the second half of this year four of our five Federations are holding their biennial conferences. The exception is the North American Federation of Sexology Organisations (NAFSO). Since the resignation of the President in 2010 NAFSO has been quiescent. Currently a number of leaders in North American sexology are working to re-energize the organization. I am confident that, in due course, we shall once again have an active and involved North American Federation.

A number of WAS documents are freely available through our web site. Amongst these are the WAS Mission Statement, the Standards of Practice, the Guiding Ethical Principles and the seminal document, Sexual Health for the Millennium. The content of these documents represent the ethos of WAS, emphasizing our strong support for advocating and protecting sexual rights. WAS rejects discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, physical or intellectual capacity, race, religion or ethnicity. While many of us live in countries where not all these rights are officially protected we urge our member organizations to take an active role in promoting equity and rights.
