What is it like to be old

This video, which aims to speak openly about the menstrual period, was created under the Period Empowerment Network project with 11 participating countries, co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme. Through the video we intend to contribute to the demystification of the menstrual period, seeking to improve knowledge and awareness of the body, as well as to improve the attitudes towards menstrual health and hygiene awareness.

The first menstruation cycle is a sign that the body is preparing to conceive new lives. It is part of the normal growth of a healthy body, and it does not prevent from going to school, playing, praying, cooking...nor living together. Traditionally regarded as a sign of womanhood, menstruation does not define the sexual behaviours of women and people with female organs. To help menstrual hygiene awareness, there are different products that can be used during menstruation such as disposable or reusable pads; disposable or reusable tampons; a menstrual cup; or underwear suitable for the period. Any of them can be used, the important is to keep menstruators clean, comfortable, and healthy.

Our cultures are different, but the respect for all human beings must always be preserved and come before religion, culture, or wealth. Menstruation has always been present in the human species, but it is still a target of incomprehension, inequality, and discrimination. To understand menstruation deeply and clearly, we must go beyond dominant preconceptions. Menstruation is not only a female issue since we are not all binary people. The treasure of difference is part of the greatness of the human species. Intelligence, knowledge, and acceptance are characteristics from our species and must be present so that we can evolve, stop pointing differences and discriminating because of menstruation. Differences promote Tolerance, Respect and Humanity. Menstruation is natural and must not be seen as a taboo!
