Period Pain, Poverty, and Stigma

The discussion surrounding menstruation and menstrual health has improved over the last decade, but UIC student organization Blood Buds wishes to get college campuses more involved in the discourse. Join the UIC Women’s Leadership and Resource Center for an inspiring talk by Amy Chang and Divya Krishnakumar, two of Blood Buds’ three founders, about how menstrual stigmas are perpetuated and what we can do to combat their propagation. Find ways in your own life to advocate for yourself and others when it comes to menstrual health.
