Why Our Space, Our Face?<br />

We are making our mark as sex-positive advocates, and most importantly, we are including the<br />

voices of Women Who Have <strong>Sex</strong> With Women (<strong>WSW</strong>), boldly and unapologetically.<br />

Social constructs such as homophobia and sexism have limited the discourse about <strong>WSW</strong> to<br />

a debate regarding lifestyle, morality and an assumption of rigid gender roles and sexuality.<br />

Couple this with racism and the historical sexual objectification of women of color and the<br />

discourse becomes virtually non-existent outside of an academic framework.<br />

Our Space, Our Face is a Behavioral Health Intervention that addresses the social determinants<br />

of health and the impact of stigma, shame, sexism, racism, trans/homo-phobia, ableism, (and<br />

other forms of oppression) on the sexual health & freedom of women.
