IPPF/WHR’s institutional vision for sexual diversity is based on ensuring that all people have access to the information and services they need; recognizing sexuality both as a natural and precious aspect of life and as a fundamental human right; and creating a world in which choices are fully respected and where stigma and discrimination have no place. IPPF/WHR, in collaboration with its affiliated organizations, has adapted and developed a Sexual Diversity Tool Kit containing assessment, evaluation, and program planning tools in order to facilitate work with sexually diverse populations.
The Sexual Diversity Tool Kit was developed and tested in collaboration with IPPF Member Associations in Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. The kit includes a survey to measure provider and staff attitudes and knowledge around working with sexually diverse populations, an indicator guide useful for planning service provision or advocacy, and an index used to assess agency readiness to work with sexually diverse populations. The tool kit also includes a sexual diversity glossary which can be used to clarify the terms and their definitions. These tools have been tested with small samples, and have been useful in collecting data to inform new programs and improve existing services.
