Blood Buds hosted an event in February 2021 called “A Menstruation Discussion for Everyone.” We welcomed students and the larger UIC community to this wonderful, inaugural event where they could learn about periods and ask questions. Three panelists, including Lisa Barnes of The Period Collective, Jorah Griffin of Dot Menstrual Cup, and Dr. Supriya Mehta of UIC Global Health, participated in a cross-sector and highly intellectual online discussion. The interest in the Q&A area was focused on issues such as the pink tax, period products, sexual education, understanding about one's own periods, and advocacy in the doctor's office. The panel was beneficial in educating students on menstrual health, introducing sustainable menstruation, and reducing stigma around periods.
