Every year FPA organises a campaign called Sexual Health Week.

This helps people find out more information so they can make better decisions about sexual health and their relationships.

Sexual Health Week campaigns that FPA has run in the past.

What was Sexual Health Week 2008 about?

In 2008 FPA talked about sex and relationships with learning disabilities.

We called the campaign week It's My Right!

We think that people with learning disabilities have the right to have sex and relationships if they want to.

We also believe that people with learning disabilities should have more education, information and chances to meet people and have relationships.

During the week FPA campaigned so that more people know this.

When was Sexual Health Week 2008?

Sexual Health Week 2008, called It's My Right! was from 4–10 August 2008.

What did FPA do over the week?

FPA made posters featuring people with learning disabilities campaigning for their right to sex and relationships. See the It's my right posters here.

CD-ROM for people with learning disabilities

We also launched an interactive CD-ROM called All about us. The CD-ROM helps people learn about sex, sexuality and relationships. It is easy to understand and has fun games and different things to do to help you learn.
