Sweden for the WIN:
8. Safe sexuality and good reproductive health
The Government points out that Sweden has a
very long tradition of conducting information
campaigns on the subject of sexuality and partnership,
which has been a cornerstone of public
health work. It is stressed that efforts should aim
to strengthen the individual’s own identity and
that a positive view of sexuality should be promoted.
At the same time, however, it is important
to inform people about the risk of sexual
transmitted diseases. Efforts to prevent unwanted
pregnancies must continue.
The right to safe and secure sexuality must
also apply to homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals
and combating discrimination on the
grounds of sexual orientation is a matter of the
utmost urgency.

Just thought I'd point that out. :-)
