Campaign - Emancipation in language

Schaamteloos / Shameless

by
Shari Klein

We kicked off the Schaamteloos campaign with our friends at The Oh Collective, The Social Code and The Vulva Gallery to tackle something most people don’t even think twice about: the words we use for our own bodies. Why are we still calling them schaamlippen aka “shame lips”? Spoiler: we shouldn’t be. That’s why we’re pushing for “vulvalippen” — a term that’s accurate, confident, and proudly unapologetic. Inspired by the legacy of Ellen Laan, this campaign is about ditching shame and rewriting the narrative, starting with the dictionary.
