We, at Sappho, were trying to develop a comprehensive idea of violence and violation, generally happening on biological and self identified women and locate sexuality as an overarching issue related to these along with gender as an important category of analysis. The Sexuality Academy is a result of such thoughts and ideas that we had developed over a long period of time. The Academy will try to provide a basic theoretical understanding of sexuality and sexualities, connect it with the ‘self’ and explore the interconnectivity between sexuality and other development issues. The academy is designed for the explicit need of the Bengali speaking front line social workers of organisations working on specialised rights/development issues to forge a strong linkage with sexuality.
