At a sex education presentation at her son’s school last week, Rachel Bond was encouraged by the frank and age-appropriate talk given by Interrelate, but for one reason: the clitoris was missing.
“When it came to the male anatomical slide in the cartoon-style presentation, every part was correctly labelled, yet when the female anatomy appeared on the big screen, I noticed that the clitoris was not there,” Rachel told Mamamia.
After the presentation concluded, Rachel approached the host to ask about why there was no mention of the clitoris and what the reasons might be for its absence.
“I was genuinely curious as to why, in an otherwise very open and honest presentation that reference to a legitimate and important female body part, was missing.
“The educators reply was that in the past they did have a female genital illustration that included a clitoris but that it was deemed too ‘confronting’. I don’t know if she meant for the parents or the children, and whether there had been actual complaints; either way the slide was removed but she was hopeful of its return.”
