Participate as an individual
Every one of us can push back the stigma around menstruation. Whether it's a casual chat or a formal conversation, you have the power to break the taboo. And together, we can change how society views menstruation. Because each conversation can change how people think.
This Menstrual Hygiene Day, let's boldly refuse to stay silent. Let's speak up for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld.
Push back the stigma,
one bracelet at a time
28 beads, 5 of them red. An average of 28 days per cycle, 5 of them bleeding.
The Menstruation Bracelet is more than an accessory. It is a symbol for menstruation. And it is a statement. A statement that says: Periods are nothing to hide. They are totally normal, and we can talk about them openly.
Post a picture with the Menstruation Bracelet - digital or physical version - and encourage others to do the same. This way, you help create a #PeriodFriendlyWorld. One bracelet at a time.
