What is menstruation?
Menstruation, or a period, is when blood and tissue from the uterus comes out of the vagina. It typically occurs every month and is a normal bodily function.
An estimated 1.8 billion people menstruate across the world.
What is menstrual health?
Menstrual health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, about the menstrual cycle.
What is menstrual equity?
Menstrual equity is largely about the equitable accessibility and safety of menstrual products. But it is not solely defined by access — it is also about education and reproductive care. This includes the requirement that people who menstruate have the means, support, and choice to decide on how they want to take care of their menstrual health.
