The unmentionables : embracing gynaecological wellness in young women

Abstract

Topics surrounding the female vagina can cause embarrassment and discomfort for many young women. As a result, discussions and awareness of gynaecological issues can be challenging for them. It was also found that gynaecology wellness is not addressed in Singapore’s school curriculum. There is generally an insufficient open educational platform for young women to equip themselves with knowledge to take charge of their gynaecological health.

This project thus aims to design a range of educational materials for Singapore’s young females to raise awareness of symptoms, detection and prevention methods of various intimate female hygiene and gynaecological issues. The project hopes to promote open conversations about female-specific medical conditions in Singapore and provide accessible resources.
