This #MHDay2020 I wrote about #education and #menstruation. We need more than awareness to change mindsets, attitudes and behaviours and it must be a planned and consistent #MenstruationMatters #ItsTimeForAction #UNICEF @PeriodPaath @kaboom https://t.co/bqjMS0oIRA

I love this diagram. And this woman, if I'm honest! #MenstruationMatters #WASHTwitter @BritishAcademy_ @ChrisBobel

[Nirmala Nair @nirmalanair]

@chandana_hiran @Mayuri_tezpur In my experience you should start with the states. Pick one and make it a precedent for others. National level petition, like I had, has hardly anyone hold accountable. But a lot of SRHR still comes under health and WCD. Go for a state would be my suggestion

[Nirmala Nair @nirmalanair]

@Shoe_tea I loved the bit about Indian parents are like that. Wanted to add wish parents had a Rani Beti syndrome too!!!

This prettification of design is why no one takes us designers seriously! The job of #design is to complement what is being said and not take away from it It must work at a subconscious level to evoke feelings #designmatters (3/3)

[Nirmala Nair @nirmalanair]

Thank you for sharing this very important report @SohiniBee 'Where is the Money for Feminist Organisation' should be used in design lessons - how not to design a document when you are demanding that people take notice and fund you better (1/3)

[Sohini Bhattacharya @SohiniBee]

Only 0.42% of foundation grants are allocated towards women's rights, and 99% of aid still doesn’t directly reach feminist orgs. @AWID’s new report on the urgent need to transform how we #FundHer to achieve gender justice.

The apologetic dainty font and beautiful illustrations all akin to what women must be - makes me so angry! Why are these documents not in big bold types that say - take me seriously and put your money where your mouth is! (2/3)

@Shoe_tea Same same! Just doesn’t sound right yet I know so many people opting for this option because slots are impossible to find

On the eve of #MHDay2021 , let's think critically, holistically, intersectionally, and strategically about #menstrualleave.

Dig into the literature. Here's a start. #menstrualiteracy #acrossthelifecourse #structuralchange

Where do people have the time and energy to create such unsubstantiated crap in the middle of a pandemic? Please ignore such baseless remonders #menstruationmatters #VaccinesSaveLives

@japna_p Such forwards are doing the rounds.
