Sexual Health and Privacy

Paramount to the Reproductive Rights Project’s mission is the principle that privacy and confidentiality are essential for people to make informed, healthy decisions, particularly when it comes to reproductive and sexual health. RRP works to safeguard confidentiality protections for information related to reproductive and sexual health, focusing in particular on services provided to young people, LGBT individuals, and people living with HIV/AIDS.
