https://media.ccc.de/v/emf2018-94-why-the-world-needs-a-vagina-museum There is a penis museum, but no vagina equivalent. There's only one way to change that: Make one. Join the Vagina Museum as they talk about why we need one, their experiences researching vaginas, vulvas and all parts related, what would go in a museum about the gynaecological anatomy and the wonderful and strange reactions encountered whilst making the world's first physical vagina museum. The museum will have four permanent galleries: science, culture, society and history. The science section will cover topics from the anatomy to health, menstruation to menopause, contraception to consent, sexuality to gender identity. The culture collection will showcase the anatomy in the arts and their contribution to the discourse about our genitals, for example The Great Wall of Vagina or The Handmaid’s Tale. The society gallery will explore genitals’ place in society, e.g. religious rites surrounding menstruation, the practises of FGM, of which over 200 million people are living today suffering from, sexual violence and how these cases are dealt with in court. The history gallery will contain objects relating to the history of gynaecological medicine, contraception, menstrual products and sex work. There is a penis museum, but no vagina equivalent.

What does it mean to be a feminist right now? In this episode, you can hear a series of short, inspirational talks from our panel on what being a feminist means to them.

In a speech given at Trans Activism UK’s #NotSafeToBeMe protest outside downing Street, London, Florence Schechter from The Vagina Museum discusses the parallels she sees as a Jewish woman between the historic treatment of the Jewish community, and the modern treatment of the trans community. She also discusses her insights on why Anti Trans views are incompatible with feminism, and how the similar struggles faced by the trans and jewish communities provide cause for solidarity in shared oppression.
