International Partners

In order to enhance mutual learning and exchange experience across borders, the BZgA has developed and sustained a huge international network of experts in sexual reproductive health rights (SRHR) working for various types of institutions across the WHO European Region, including UN organisations, governmental and nongovernmental organisations, as well as research institutes.

For example, the BZgA and the WHO Regional Office for Europe jointly head the work of the European Expert Group on Sexuality Education, comprised of experts from different European countries as well as intranational organisations, with various backgrounds ranging from medicine to psychology and the social sciences. All of them have extensive experience in different areas from the field of sexuality education, for instance, policy-making, research, practice, or advocacy. The group was founded as an advisory and reference group for the BZgA and the WHO concerning the development of the Standards for Sexuality Education in Europe.
