Raising awareness for the vulva at the Women's March in Oakland, 2017
Vulva activism (also termed as vulvactivism[1]) is the promotion of a raised awareness of the appearance of female genitalia and the breaking of taboos surrounding the vulva, as carried out by feminist movements and advocacy groups. Other names for this advocacy movement are labia pride,[2]labia liberation,[3]vulvaversity,[4]viva la vulva,[5]pussy positivity[5] and similar. It is supported by several independent feminist groups and based on diverse channels of communication such as cyberfeminism, protest marches and advocating boycotts against physicians and clinics that make use of deceptive advertising.
