Meta Rewrites Its Global Ads Policy to Allow Sexual Health, Wellness, Reproductive Health Ads – Following Women-Led Advocacy by Center for Intimacy Justice
Meta recently published changes to its sexual health advertising policies, newly stating that “advertisers can run ads that promote sexual health, wellness and reproductive products and services” – following Center for Intimacy Justice (CIJ)’s recent investigative report and advocacy to change Meta’s systemic rejections of women’s health advertisements.
In January of 2022, CIJ published a report describing Facebook’s censorship of sexual health and wellness ads for women and people of diverse genders. Read our Ad Equality report here.
We found that of the 60 health businesses studied that serve women’s health and health for people of diverse genders, all (100%) had experienced Facebook rejecting an advertisement at some point.
“This is a fixable problem.”
- Jackie Rotman, in The New York Times
