Flow with Revolution
The World Health Organization calls for menstrual health to be recognized, framed, and addressed as a health and human rights issue, and that all menstruators should be able “to live, study, and work in an environment in which menstruation is seen as positive and healthy and not something to be ashamed of and to be able to participate in work and social activities fully.” And FLOW echoes that call.
