SAN DIEGO, May 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ An all new cliteracy organization Clitoris.io is launching its first International Clitoris Summit on May 22, 2021, featuring 18 renowned speakers whose pioneer work in medicine, sexology, arts, and activism has contributed to giving the clitoris the voice it deserves. Our endeavour is to literally cliterate the world! says Dr. Denisa Rensen, Clitoris.io spokesperson. The physical structure and function of the clitoris is still relatively unknown to most, this is a symptom of a much wider gender bias in medicine and culture. Our goal is to inform, and to celebrate the only organ in the human body whose exclusive function is pleasure.

Aliya felt like she was swallowing a rock. This always happened when she ingested food too quickly, but the sun was rising higher in the sky and her family would soon be up, so she had no choice. It was Ramadan, and just hours before, she had joined her family for Suhoor [the meal before sunrise] in an attempt to conceal the fact that she wasn’t actually fasting.
Doing this felt like an unnecessary burden, and she hated it. But hearing her brother trudge down the stairs, she scrambled to wash her bowl anyway, as her uterus twisted and cramped inside her. Aliya was on her period - and she’s just one of many Muslim women who has felt the need to hide the fact she’s menstruating during the month of Ramadan.
Gianluca D’Elia/Special for Cronkite News PHOENIX – In a downtown parking garage, a health care worker, dressed in protective gear, waits for cars to pull up for drive-thru HIV tests. Inside the building, volunteers assemble packages of at-home tests and condoms to be shipped across the state. Elsewhere in metro Phoenix, a van travels to neighborhoods whose residents may face higher risk of infection to provide regular HIV testing, while doctors and case managers across the area respond to telehealth appointments by phone and Zoom. Although face-to-face interactions have been the preferred method for testing and treating people for HIV and supporting them in vulnerable moments, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced local health care providers to get creative and adapt.
