Population Council Research that makes a difference

Banner Photo: A couple embracing

Sexuality—its expression and experience—is a fundamental part of being human. It relates directly to sexual behavior as well as sexual and reproductive health and well-being. It is an important and pleasurable element in many intimate relationships. While it is typically associated with sex and other biological aspects such as reproduction, sexuality is profoundly influenced by social and cultural factors. Gender and sexual norms, power relations, hormones, and individual experiences all influence a person’s experience of sexuality.

Population Council focus

The Council is engaged in research and programs that bear directly on these many dimensions of sexuality. Across all these efforts, the respect for sexual and reproductive rights; sex and relationships free from violence and coercion; mutuality, respect, and consent; and freedom from stigma and discrimination, are key underlying principles.

Population Council impact

The Council is undertaking research to:

  • better understand the situation and needs of young people as they relate to sexuality, relationships and sexual health;
  • improve the accuracy and validity of data on sexual behavior and experience;
  • examine the effect of reproductive technologies and health interventions on sexual behavior and pleasure;
  • explore the links between gender norms, sexual behavior, and sexual health outcomes;
  • document, address, and work to eliminate sexual coercion and intimate partner violence;
  • provide young people with sexuality education that places central attention on gender and rights;
  • expose and reduce stigma and discrimination related to sexuality and HIV infection; and
  • support individuals, especially vulnerable girls and women, to enjoy dignity, equality, and safe and wanted sexual lives.
