Invitation to Renew Your Membership with EFS – Special Offer for 2024–2025

Dear Member,

We are reaching out to all our members, as our records indicate that in several cases membership fees have not been settled over the past two years. As you know, the EFS is a volunteer-based federation that relies on the active support and collaboration of its members to continue its scientific, educational, and outreach activities. If your membership fees have been regularly paid during this period, please consider this message not applicable to you.

If for any reason you have been unable to pay the fee in the last 2 years, as an esteemed part of our community, we sincerely value your contributions and would be delighted to welcome you back into active membership. To support this, we are pleased to offer you a 20% discount on the membership fees for both 2024 and 2025.

We kindly ask you to regularize your position by taking advantage of this special opportunity. Please note that members who do not renew their membership by the end of the current calendar year will unfortunately be considered outside the Federation and will no longer be entitled to the benefits of belonging to EFS.

This is an excellent occasion to rejoin the Federation — especially as we look ahead to the 2026 EFS Congress in Lisbon, which promises to be a milestone event for our community.

We warmly encourage you to seize this opportunity and remain an integral part of the EFS network.

Should you need any assistance in completing your renewal, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A Shared Commitment to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights

The ESCRH Position Paper reaffirms that sexual and reproductive health and rights are fundamental human rights and should be guaranteed to all individuals without discrimination, coercion, or violence. The document highlights the importance of evidence-based healthcare, equitable access to contraception, comprehensive sexuality education, prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, and protection from gender-based violence.

The position paper also emphasizes the need to address inequalities affecting marginalized populations, including adolescents, LGBTQIA+ individuals, migrants, refugees, people with disabilities, older adults, and sex workers. It calls for inclusive, accessible, and rights-based healthcare systems capable of meeting the needs of diverse communities.

Key Areas of Focus

Among its main recommendations, the document advocates for:

  • Universal access to modern contraception and family planning services;
  • Safe, legal, and dignified reproductive healthcare;
  • Comprehensive sexuality and reproductive health education throughout the lifespan;
  • Stronger prevention, screening, and treatment strategies for sexually transmitted infections and HIV;
  • Improved access to HPV vaccination and reproductive cancer prevention programs;
  • Action against gender-based violence and harmful practices such as female genital mutilation;
  • Protection of evidence-based healthcare from misinformation and ideological interference.

The paper further highlights the importance of professional education, scientific research, and international collaboration in advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Supporting Evidence-Based and Rights-Centred Healthcare

EFS shares the view that sexual and reproductive health is closely linked to human dignity, equality, public health, and social justice. The Federation therefore supports the principles and recommendations outlined in the ESCRH Position Paper and welcomes continued collaboration among professional organizations working to promote sexual health and wellbeing throughout Europe.
