Nursing specialty that supports girls/womens health/sexuality?

I am thinking of going into nursing. One thing that's very important to me is women's health and making sure girls/women feel comfortable in their bodies and not ashamed of their bodies and sexuality, and making sure they have access to information/resources to help them. (For instance, I read this article today (warning - really depressing): http://sylviasproblem.wordpress.com/...-hope-witsell/
and it made me think, is there a way I could help do this as a nurse?

This is a little ways off for me - I plan on getting a second-degree BSN and working for a bit before specializing - but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this kind of work and if they know what opportunities are out there.
