The book

Vagina Matters is our illustrated book on sexual health for young people. It’s meant for girls, as well as trans and non-binary people, between the ages of 12 and 14, but it’s open to anyone from any age group to read!

Packed with practical tips and information, we cover everything you’ve always wanted to know about the body, puberty, menstruation, sex and much more, but were afraid to ask. 

In over 250 brilliantly illustrated pages, we answer some of your burning questions about vaginal health, periods and contraceptive care. We also cover other big issues – like the ones related to your first time, consent and sexual harassment.

Vagina Matters hopes to empower young people to become advocates for their own sexual health. We hope it will inspire you to explore these issues in more depth, engage critically with your surroundings, and encourage you to speak freely about your sexual health.

The book is available for reading online, but can also be purchased via our partners Daye. Vagina Matters is published by us at Fine Acts under an open license, empowering anyone anywhere to translate it into their language. Find out more here.
