History[edit] Beginning in the late 1960s, violence against women became a salient topic of interest within the second-wave feminist movement.

"The Whole World Revolves Around It: Sex Education and Sex Reform in Fi" by Karla Huebner

By looking at articles, advertisements and references to sex and sexuality in Czech periodicals from 1920 to 1935, it shows that inter-war Czechoslovaks were enthusiastic participants in closely linked discourses about hygiene, physical culture, sex education, birth control and sex reform, and provides evidence that Czech discourse about sex and sexuality was almost always - apart from erotica and pornography - closely tied to discourse about health, hygiene and social reform. The article also shows how inter-war Czechoslovaks participated in the struggle for sexual minority rights. Suggested Citation. Czech Age distribution statistics - How Czech Republic ranks.

Amsterdam-style sex sell creates uproar in Czech capital

The business started in a street a stone’s throw from the famous Wenceslas Square, Ve Smečkách, already known for its gaudy strip clubs and bars, but clearly takes the sex business in a new direction in the Czech capital.
