Description
What's the link between periods, neoliberal economic policies and lack of water access? Why marketing campaigns are shifting from "freeing women" of "oppressing" cultural understandings of period blood to "organic" and "sustainable" menstrual waste management? In a span of a century, when did we shift from "inclusion into the workforce" to "human development" to "greener futures"?
How wide is the gap of period poverty and tax in your country? How connected or disconnected are we from this biological process, which meaning and stories do we tell of our own experience and how the community/national/global stories are or aren't a reflection of yours? How can we reduce environmental waste without "shaming" or "blaming" women?
