The “Intimate Words” campaign sought to empower indigenous women outside of Oaxaca, Mexico by finding a way to educate them on cervical cancer, which is currently the leading cause of death in their community. The problem? There are no words for the female reproductive system in the women’s indigenous language due to cultural taboo, leaving women unable to explain their symptoms and prohibiting them from receiving the treatment they need.
