Grand Challenges 2022
MenstruNations
Menstrunations aim to raise awareness about period poverty via their website, which features not only key biological information, but links to charities, brands, organisations, donation pages, petitions, informative videos and a form to post any questions readers may have. One of the group’s key focuses was on destigmatising periods for people who don’t menstruate, and their website features advice for how to help aimed at this group. During the week, the group also set up a fundraiser for Jeytna, a Lebanese intersectional feminist collective fighting for menstrual rights and equity. As a result of this, they raised over £600.
