Since 1945, United Nations (UN) conferences and documents have promoted human rights as essential to individual liberty and international peace. It took until 1994, however, for the term "sexual rights" to first appear in a UN document. Recently, other groups have also been promoting the idea of sexual rights. The professional and scientific World Association of Sexology offered a Declaration of Sexual Rights in 1999. In 2000, The World Health Organization co-authored "Promotion of Sexual Health," including a central role for sexual rights. This emerging sexual rights discourse can be linked to the women's rights and gay and lesbian rights movements of the 1970s, and to the AIDS pandemic of the 1980s.
自1945年以来，联合国的会议和文件一直将人权视为个人自由和国际和平的关键要素。然而，“性权利”一词直到1994年才首次出现在联合国文件中。最近，其他团体也在倡导性权利的理念。专业科学组织世界性学协会于1999年发表了《性权利宣言》。2000年，世界卫生组织共同撰写了《促进性健康》，其中强调了性权利的核心作用。这种新兴的性权利话语可以追溯到20世纪70年代的女权运动以及同性恋权利运动，还有20世纪80年代的艾滋病大流行。
