The need for a better understanding of sexuality and sexual health in the Arab societies triggered members of the Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health Working Group (YSRH-WG) at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the American University of Beirut and other Arab colleagues to establish a network of Arab Scholars on Sexuality and Sexual health (NASSS). Members come from various disciplines, research
fields, and professional interests related to sexuality and sexual health, including the medical and public health professions, social sciences, anthropology, population and reproductive health, and community work. Members share and exchange knowledge and expertise related to sexuality, sexual health awareness, education and promotion, sexual health services advocacy, and policy guidance as pertinent to the context of each country within the framework of sexual rights as human rights. NASSS is open to collaborate and partner with regional and international agencies and organizations (UN agencies, Private sector, CBO, etc...) that seek to generate knowledge, fund/sponsor, and advocate on matters related to SRH.
