We bring news that after a stakeholder consultation process, @WASHUnited have decided not to rename World Menstrual Hygiene Day this year - read more here #HealthNotHygiene https://t.co/LCIfSxqyHx

This comes after @asda made the commitment to renaming the aisle earlier this year #HealthNotHygiene https://t.co/RJ8NEL0hux

@BootsUK will rename their ‘feminine hygiene’ aisle later this year and in the meantime you can find ‘period products’ on their website… at bloody last 🙌

For 2021’s Menstrual Hygiene Day rebellion, we heard from the menstrual community and how they felt about the term ‘menstrual hygiene’, by this point our movement was already over 40,000 strong #HealthNotHygiene

By October 2020, our movement was almost 40,000 strong and this ignited a response from @WASHUnited who agreed to consult partners and activists on change @MHDay28May

[Health Not Hygiene @NotHygiene]

WASH United, the founders of World Menstrual Hygiene Day, have committed to consult partners and menstrual activists on changing the name of the day 🙌🙌🙌

Our 2020 #HealthNotHygiene campaign, we were a small and mighty movement at this point👇

HAPPY WORLD MENSTRUAL HEALTH DAY and a huge thank you to all our supporters 🙌

Nearly 3 years ago we started the Health Not Hygiene campaign and it amazes us that we’re ramping up for another year of World Menstrual Hygiene Day… despite over 40k people calling for change #ActivistBurnout #HealthNotHygiene

[Health Not Hygiene @NotHygiene]

So stoked that Asda changed the name of their 'feminine hygiene' aisle #healthnothygiene #ConsumerPower

@RedBoxProject @holliepoetry @GSofA @bloodygood_ @SwansPeriodPov Thank you 🙌

[One Track Mind @OneTrackMindMag]

Couldn’t agree more, let’s start by removing the word ‘hygiene’🙂

Wow- love this poem about the stigma surrounding menstrual blood.

Time to reclaim the name. Hygiene doesn’t cut it. It’s #HealthNotHygiene

[Hollie McNish @holliepoetry]

Today is #MenstrualHygieneDay2021 (hygiene though?) so here's a poem about our censorship culture still squirming over menstrual blood compared to any other blood. Still! Animation by the brilliant Mourad Kourbaj of @GSofA. Follow @bloodygood_ @RedBoxProject @SwansPeriodPov

@UN_Women ...and language which fits the cause.

It’s #HealthNotHygiene

[Health Not Hygiene @NotHygiene]

@UN_Women Agreed! Let’s join together to change the language around menstruation and end the stigma. We can start by renaming 28 May Menstrual *Health* Day.
