“Menstrual health is not a women’s issue, but a human issue and matter of human rights.”
For the first episode in English I meet with Danielle, Co-founder of Menstrual Health Hub (MH Hub), a global nonprofit and strategic consultancy specialized in gender and female health. We speak about menstruation being a core issue that holds girls and women* around the world back and how addressing menstruation also addresses gender equality.
Moreover, we tackle topics such as the four seasons of the menstrual cycle and how we can work with our cycle rhythm in a world that evolves around linear growth. We discuss period shame, misinformation regarding hormonal birth control, Women-Centered Design and Femtech, why rest is important for the fight for gender equality and the beauty of orgasm synesthesia.
*not all people who menstruate are women and not all women menstruate. https://mhhub.org/blog/all-menstrual-experiences-matter-period/
