Plastic people: chemical exposure and our health

Half of the population will, do, or used to menstruate — it is not a ‘women’s issue’, it is a global issue. If you have a mother, daughter, sister, or know a female, then menstruation touches your life in some way. Tampons and toilets are important, but so is having a supportive environment where people with periods are able to participate fully without bullying or discrimination. Hear about the realities of menstrual experiences, their potential negative and positive impacts on lives, and how we can all do better at supporting those who menstruate. All genders welcome!
