Dutch language gets new words for labia to promote body positivity

Campaigners in the Netherlands have introduced new terminology for the labia, aiming to reshape how female anatomy is discussed. The initiative is driven by a desire to reduce body shaming and encourage more positive attitudes toward sex and the female body. Advocates argue that existing language has long made women feel invisible or stigmatized. Supporters hope the new words will help women feel more seen and accepted. The campaign reflects a broader cultural push in the Netherlands toward inclusive and empowering language around women's bodies.
