Genitalia

Human

Understanding the body, challenging myths.

This web series explores the anatomy and physiology of the genital organs through accessible, evidence-based educational episodes. It gives voice to diverse perspectives that question the representations, beliefs, and myths surrounding this part of the body.

By shedding light on how these perceptions influence certain surgical practices — particularly female genital mutilation — the series encourages informed and critical reflection.

A project developed in collaboration with the University of Geneva and RTS Découverte.

Define and distinguish the concepts of sex, gender, and sexuality through personal testimonies — particularly from transgender and intersex individuals — and explore the various medical options available to trans people who wish to modify their bodies.
