The idealised, all-adoring, never-complaining, never-distracted, bored or plain fed-up mother figure is a misogynistic construct. She has long been used as a stick to beat real-life, imperfect mothers into shamed & guilt-stricken silence.
We invite everyone who has made the leap to switch to a #MensturalCup and anyone on the fence to making the switch, to come and join us this Sunday 26th of May at 2130 for a Sharing Session at Salt Café and Restaurant 5th floor.
Please DM and RSVP if you are interested to join!
The first couple of years after I’ve gotten my first period, I avoided saying the word “period” bcs people around me were not very comfortable with it. They’ll make a face or scrunch up their noses whenever it is mentioned. Even my grade school teachers refer to it as “P”.
We are so happy to see the largest bank in the country take this step to ensure that their workplaces cater to the needs of women! ❤️
Ask your employer to #FreeThePad too!
Providing essential necessities such as pads at the workplace make a huge difference for women. From today onwards, we pledge to #FreeThePad and pads will be available for our staff at all BML branches and departments. #BalanceForBetter
Sexual harassment in public space stems from a culture of inequality and may be contributing to women’s economic marginalization. For this #WomensDay led by the civil society is calling to make the public spaces for women safe at all hours of the day.
Come join us for a #OccupyReygandu Pre-Event!
We will be screening and having a discussion on 'Period. End of Sentence' and making some posters for #OccupyReygandu from 7:00pm onwards at American Center on 3 March (Sunday).
Looking forward to seeing you there! 💜🧡💪🏾
#OccupyReygandu is a women-only event to demand all public spaces be safe spaces for women, at all hours of the day. The event is a safe space for all women, from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, to come together to raise awareness about issues that matter to us. 💜🧡
