The culture of shame that surrounds periods and reproductive health is changing – thanks to so many dedicated activists, advocates, organizations, researchers, reporters and forward-thinking businesses. And thanks to you. But there is still more work to be done! The more we can help get the conversation into the mainstream, the more we can move the mainstream!
Do you want to change the culture around periods and menstruation? SHARE YOUR STORY!
Tips on sharing your story:
When you share your experiences, it not only changes people who connect with your story, it also changes you. When people share their personal stories on a social issue, they become more invested in that issue because it is now theirs (Beautiful Rising.org). What's more, it is contagious: Sharing leads to sharing leads to sharing and helps communities and individuals connect over similarities and differences.
There is no right or wrong way to share your story; no min. or max word length. Just speak from your experience and share what you are comfortable with. Here are some questions to think about while you write:
- When did you first get your period? How old were you?
- How has this impacted your life? How do you feel about your period?
- Why do you want to share your story with others?
