The Research Center PoliTeSse – Politics and Theories of Sexuality has research, educational, and consultancy purposes. PoliTeSse is formed by professors and researchers who, with both theoretical and practical goals, investigate the phenomena related to human sexuality in their philosophical, juridical, religious, ethical and biological, anthropological, cultural, sociological, pedagogical, medical and historical aspects. The Center stands for the values of human dignity and integrity as stated in the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights – arguing that fundamental human rights should include self-determination of gender identity and sexual orientation, and thus the rights to health and safety of sexual minorities and combating sexism in all its forms.
