Sometimes you just don’t want to talk about menstruation. You don’t know how to maybe start the conversation, or maybe you want to talk about it but know that you will instantly be judged (oh that’s why she’s been soooo moody!). One company introduced the period emoji. A simple symbol that you can put up and others can know exactly when you have your period. I think its a great start. https://plan-uk.org/blogs/its-time-to-change-the-conversation-about-periods-starting-with-a-period-emoji
The article talks about menstrual shame and how we need to start breaking down the barriers. I think an emoji is a nice simple fun way to at least get it onto our radar. Truth is though we should have a symbol for all the phases, not just the one around menstruation. Because its not a warning, its a reminder, and we should remind ourselves each phase you go through.
Learning about your cycle and the power of each of the four phases can help you with your everyday life, whether it’s relationships, leadership or empowering yourself.
