Knowledge is power! ✊💪
Informing and raising awareness on the subject of menstruation is essential. We must break the silence around menstruation. Because of this taboo, many people are misinformed about this natural phenomenon. This can result in exclusion, rejection of menstruating people, menstrual hygiene practices that are dangerous to health, psychological effects that devalue, belittle, humiliate, and many other harmful consequences.
But let's stay positive! It is still possible to take action. Let's talk about periods, let's break the silence, and let's get informed! 💬🗨️📖🙋♀️🙋♂️
The Cup It Up! team is doing that. The goal of our project is to raise awareness about menstrual hygiene and to promote the use of sustainable menstrual products. We have started to address women, but now we would like to address men, girls and boys. We had recently prepared to go to a secondary school, to speak with girls and boys in the 7th grade, but the current context of the pandemic has forced us to cancel our action. However, our will is still there! We remain motivated to break the taboo of periods!
