@period_priority @period_priority are particularly interested in hearing from those whose experiences are often marginalized in discussions of menstruation, including folks who are: trans, non-binary and gender diverse, persons with disabilities, immigrant and newcomers, and more. 🧵

[St. John's Status of Women Council @SJSWCouncil]

Check out this opportunity from @period_priority!
Period Priority Project is inviting submissions from folks of all backgrounds, genders and identities - with connections to Newfoundland and Labrador - to share experiences, reflections & expressions related to menstruation. 🧵

[The Honest Talk @_TheHonestTalk]

From witnessing period-related discrimination to founding the @period_priority, @LeishaToory’s story is one of profound impact.

Growing up where menstrual health was taboo, her journey became a quest to dismantle the barriers preventing voices like hers from being heard.
