520			_aThe research aim behind this article is to analyze the description of missions and goals of sexology organizations at various levels and to find out how they can complement each other. We described and analyzed the missions and goals of global (WAS), regional (EFS), and national organizations in Europe by their statutes and bylaws. The results show that organizations at all levels are concerned with sexual health and rights, sexuality education, professional education, and standards of ethics. In addition, there appears to be a division of activities between the various levels of organizations as described below. Global organizations: Network of regional federations, sexual health promotion within international organizations such as the WHO and the UN, organizing congresses for presenting new research and activist work (within non-governmental organizations – NGOs), and influencing national governments. Regional organizations: Network of national organizations, harmonization of educational programs, organization of regional congresses for presenting new research and new treatment methods, and development of projects between different countries. National organizations: Recruitment of members, education, supervision, professional support and development, organizing national conferences and meetings, and influencing politicians and health and education planners.
