Can you say the ‘V’ word?
A lot of women don’t want to say it or talk about it. But we need too. This Inside Knowledge campaign empowers women to start talking about their vaginas and their bodies with their friends and their doctors. These animations are narrated by women who have survived gynecologic cancer and want to inspire and encourage other women to get to know their bodies and start asking questions. It could be a life saving conversation.
The videos launched on CDC’s social channels in January 2020 for Cervical Cancer Awareness month.
