PIP: The Sex Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) opened its first office on July 1, 1964. Its mission is to affirm that sexuality is a natural and healthy part of living and to advocate the right of individuals to make responsible sexual choices. SIECUS develops, collects, and disseminates information, and promotes comprehensive education about sexuality. Haffner outlines the history of SIECUS and its battles with those fringe groups that oppose the SIECUS mission. Sexual rights continued to expand until the late 1970s despite the work of these groups. Then, dramatic changes took place. The Moral Majority was founded in 1979, and with Ronald Reagan's election to office in 1980 and 1984, attacks on sexual rights became commonplace. Under the Reagan administration, there were numerous attempts to restrict sexual rights--to restrict the right to abortion, to limit poor women's access to reproductive health services, and to restrict adolescents' rights to contraception. SIECUS continued to develop new projects and efforts during the 1980s and became involved with AIDS education in 1982. The last few years have seen a renewed interest in sexuality education as a result of the critical need for AIDS information and education. SIECUS has continued to develop new programs and initiatives during the last few years. The SIECUS library is open 44 hours a week. The library is now computerized and offers an online database of over 10,000 records. In addition, SIECUS began offering computer-based sexuality education and information through CompuServe, Learning Link, and Source. During the 1st quarter of 1989, SIECUS membership increased by 25% and foundation support doubled. SIECUS is preparing to improve membership services, expand its library collection, issue several new publications, and provide nationwide workshops and keynote speeches on the sexuality aspect of the AIDS epidemic. SIECUS will convene a national colloquium on the future of sexuality education and issue a report, SEX EDUCATION 2000, which will outline goals for the next decade.
