Vagina Matters Book

Vagina Matters – everything a girl has wanted to know about sexual health but was too afraid to ask or didn’t have a chance to learn. This illustrated book will open the doors to previously undiscussed questions on the topic, providing both useful information and most of all – practical tips. Published in 2019 by Fine Acts Authors Svela Baeva & Raya Raeva Illustrations by Mihaela Karadjova  Design and Art Direction by Borislava Karadjova Used font Glober © Fontfabric Paperback, 248 pages  Language: Bulgarian & English We wanted to lift the stigma surrounding talking about puberty and the transformations the body goes through that period, menstruation, sex and much more. These are still taboo subjects in Bulgaria for women of all ages and thus making it very difficult to have candid conversations about sexual health.  According to a statement made by the Ombudsman of Bulgaria, only 10% of the schools in the country have special classes on the topic – an abysmal result, which has its physical and mental marks later in life, like a higher rate of teenage pregnancies (Bulgaria and Romania lead this category among countries in the EU).​​​​​​​
