Contribution to a special issue on sexuality, human rights and health. Presents a bibliography illustrating the range of issues encompassed under the rubric of sexual rights/sexuality and human rights. Most of the articles annotated argue that our understanding of our body and self is shaped by a specific cultural, material, socioeconomic and political context. The bibliography attends primarily to women's sexuality and rights, reflecting the literature, which does not for the most part address sexuality and rights across genders, except in the contexts of HIV/AIDS and sexual orientation.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has allowed countries to bring their response to HIV/AIDS to an unprecedented scale, resulting in innovative projects that reach otherwise underserved communities with HIV prevention, treatment, and care. But in regions and countries where sex workers, men who have sex with men, or lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons are criminalized or stigmatized, organizations that are led by or work with these groups face challenges participating in Global Fund processes and accessing funding. This article explores the potential of the Global Fund to create space for the participation of these groups in decision-making and to increase their access to resources; examines barriers that hinder their participation; and proposes measures to overcome them.
