A period may be normal, but the experience of having one isn’t always easy. 🩸
Many girls grow up learning to simply “deal with it” without understanding the cramps, fatigue, mood changes, and other symptoms that can come with their periods.

And for boys? Sometimes, they see menstruation as just “something girls go through” because no one ever taught them otherwise.

Menstrual health education shouldn’t be for girls alone.
When boys are educated too, they can understand, empathise, support, and help create spaces where menstruation isn’t treated with shame or embarrassment.

Let’s educate girls AND boys. Because understanding menstruation is everyone’s business. ❤️
