The Period Talk
Periods are rarely discussed, especially in the workplace. A culture of stigma and silence persists, leaving those who menstruate feeling unsupported. In fact, a staggering 89% of people who menstruate have reported experiencing anxiety or stress at work due to their periods. When asked how employers could help, 63% said the key is to normalise conversations about menstruation in the workplace. In this campaign, I’m developing a website and social media platforms to foster open conversations about periods, especially in professional settings where the topic is often taboo. The site will feature graphics explaining the menstrual cycle, tips for managing pain and emotions, and a chat section for women to share experiences and seek support. My goal is to raise awareness and reduce the awkwardness surrounding periods, helping to normalise these conversations in the workplace.
This project is currently in the works.
