The Canadian Federation for Sexual Health (CFSH) is the national office of a federation of affiliate members across Canada that work together to promote and support healthy sexuality. CFSH is the only national non-governmental organization in Canada that, through its member affiliates, exclusively supports sexual and reproductive health services, information, counseling, and advocacy. CFSH envisions a global society that celebrates healthy sexuality, its diversity of expression, and reproductive choice as fundamental human rights for individuals throughout life. CFSH’s national network is a leader in advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights, both in Canada and abroad, through public education and awareness; support for the delivery of programs and services in Canada; advocacy; and through international projects.

CFSH has 28 independent affiliate members in more than 60 communities across Canada which provide clinical services, education, and counseling to more than 310,000 Canadians every year. The majority of these clients are under 30 years of age and most of them are women. CFSH works in partnership with all levels of government, academic institutions and other non-profit, non-governmental organizations. CFSH also actively supports projects to improve the sexual and reproductive health of women, men, and youth in developing countries.
