the problem
Curious about your body? Thinking about having sex for the first time? The condom broke and you’re worried? Or maybe you want to know what type of contraception is best for you?
Growing up can be weird and intimidating, leaving us with so many questions. What is more, the female body, menstruation and sex continue to be taboo topics. This makes it extremely difficult to have open conversations about sexual health issues that affect our physical, mental and social well-being.
Check out Vagina Matters, which aims to encourage a healthy curiosity towards sexual health, including on issues such as equality and violence against women.
the book
Vagina Matters is an illustrated sex ed book for young people, packed with information and practical tips on everything you’ve always wanted to know about your sexual health. It is relevant for girls, as well as trans and non-binary people, between the ages of 12 and 14, but open for anyone really.
The book, created by us at Fine Acts, equips young people with a guide to understanding the body, puberty, sex, menstruation, vaginal health and so much more. We also cover big questions related to your first time, consent and contraception.
