“Principle 1 Sexuality is an integral part of the personhood of every human being, for this reason, a favorable environment in which everyone may enjoy all sexual rights as part of the process of development must be created Sexuality is an integral part of the personhood of every human being in all societies. While individuals experience their sexualities throughout their lives in ways that vary according to inner and external factors, human rights related to sexuality, their protection and promotion should be part of the daily existence of all individuals, everywhere. In addition, sexuality should be recognized as a positive aspect of life. Sexual rights are universal human rights based on all human beings' inherent freedom, dignity, and equality.
In accordance with the Charter on Sexual and Reproductive Rights, IPPF affirms that the person is
the central subject of development and recognizes the importance of creating a favorable environment in which every individual may enjoy all sexual rights in order to be able to take an active part in processes of economic, social, cultural and political development. Sexuality is an aspect
of human and social life that is engaged always with the body, the mind, politics, health, and society.
Principle 2 The rights and protections guaranteed to people under the age of eighteen differ from those of adults,
and must take into account the evolving capacities of the individual child to exercise rights on his or her own behalf. IPPF understands that the rights and protections guaranteed to people under the age of eighteen (18), as a matter of international and national law, sometimes differ from
the rights of adults. These differences relate to all aspects of human rights but require particular approaches in regard to sexual rights. IPPF begins from the premise that persons under eighteen (18) are rights holders, and that at different points within the spectrum of infancy, childhood, and adolescence, certain rights and protections will have greater or lesser relevance.
In addition, the principle of evolving capacity combines respect for children, their dignity and entitlement
to protection from all forms of harm, and acknowledging the value of their contribution towards their protection. Societies must create environments
in which children can achieve their optimal capacities
and where greater respect is given to their potential for participation in, and responsibility for, decision-making in their own lives.
Principle 3 Non-discrimination underlines all human rights protection and promotion.
IPPF understands that a framework of non-discrimination underlines all human rights protection and promotion. This framework of non-discrimination prohibits any distinction, exclusion, or restriction on the basis of sex, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, sexual history or behavior, real or imputed, race, color, ethnicity, language, religion, political or another opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, physical or mental disability, health status, including HIV/AIDS, and civil, political, social or another status which has the purpose or effect of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise
on an equal basis with others, of all human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field.
Individuals experience different barriers to the fulfillment of their sexual rights. Substantive equality requires these barriers to be removed in order for diverse individuals to enjoy fundamental rights and freedoms on an equal basis with others. This may require that particular attention be paid to marginalized and under-served groups.” https://www.ippf.org/sites/default/files/sexualrightsippfdeclaration_1.pdf. Not all of my off-camera sex partners will be known for privacy reasons and medical reasons. That also means that what happens behind the scenes sexually and non-sexually are fully healthy secrets!!!
