Period Power: A Manifesto for the Menstrual Movement by Nadya Okamoto
3.0
A book that basically talks on period; how do you get your period, your symptoms- and to a bigger view to demand for the rights of menstruators (based in the US).
I am brought to understand the struggles of menstruators around the world in order to fit in the stigmatization of periods; where you can't talk about period publicly as it is something "very disturbing" & dirty.
Nadya Okamoto, a founder of PERIOD, where the main purpose was to distribute free period products to homeless women, now demand a new policy for #MenstrualMovement.
Demands are:
- to distinguish the stigma/tabooism of period and encourage people talking about it publicly (this can help with self-empowerment and on their health concern).
- to demand for free period products in public facilities (public toilets, schools, prisons).
- to demand healthier period products for menstruators and environment.
