This is Our Period

 

Amidst honouring the achievements of many amazing capable women on this International Women’s Day, we want to take this opportunity to celebrate being a woman.

 

Being a woman is a wonderful thing.

 

We are endowed with a natural ability to reproduce and loving that about ourselves should be celebrated.

 

Many women are often bridled with frustration when we have our periods. Pervasive cultural messages have conditioned us to think that menstruation is a dirty, contaminating force one must eliminate with the illusion of perpetual freshness.

 

But we can change that.

 

Acknowledging our unique qualities as a woman is as important as fighting for gender equality. Let us embrace our period and empower our bodies.

 

This is Our Period.
