The Woodhull Freedom Foundation and Federation (WFF) work through research, advocacy, and public education to affirm sexual freedom as a fundamental human right.

We address laws, government policies, and corporate practices that restrict sexual freedom and discriminate against people on the basis of their consensual sexual expression.

The Foundation addresses these issues through research and public education, while the Federation conducts strategic advocacy campaigns.

The global perspective of the Foundation and Federation relies on research and analysis of laws, judicial decisions and enforcement practices.

Through education, we seek to mobilize diverse communities, write model legislation, build alliances, and change public attitudes to advocate for the sexual rights and responsibilities of all.

Specifically:

  • We educate the public on the importance and value of sexual freedom and counter the arguments of groups seeking to restrict sexual rights;

  • We advocate for decriminalization and social acceptance of consensual sexual expression;

  • We seek to change antiquated, repressive and discriminatory sex laws and enforcement practices;

  • We advocate for freedom of speech and artistic expression on sexual themes;

  • We promote the empowerment of people to take control of their bodies and their sexuality;

  • We support legal action to overturn court decisions adverse to sexual freedom and privacy rights, and we work to affirm and expand decisions, like Lawrence v. Texas, that support sexual freedom and privacy;

  • We oppose abstinence-only sex "education" and endorse an age-appropriate, comprehensive approach to sex education; and

  • We seek to protect and foster scientific research on sexuality.
