Description
The 28th May is International Menstrual Hygiene Day. A day which celebrates the progress made in helping people around the world manage their menstruation more effectively and to raise awareness of the myths and taboos surrounding menstruation. 2015 is only the second year this international day is happening, but it is likely to get a lot of media attention this year as menstrual hygiene has come more into the public eye and there are a large amount of partners involved.We hope to coordinate a menstrual hygiene public event on 28th May, partnering with other charities and organisations involved with Menstrual Hygiene based in the Bristol area including FRANK Water. The event will involve engaging men and women in menstrual hygiene activities and discussions. Ideas for activities include: asking people to sign a pledge to encourage the government to #stopthetampontax, understanding taboos around the world (pin the taboo on the map), breaking down taboos here in the UK, what do men want to know about menstruation, 28 discussion points on menstruation, make your own pad workshops, film screenings, please see http://menstrualhygieneday.org/2015-pop-up-exhibit-toolkit/ for more details and ideas.
