This Menstrual Health Day, we're sharing a story from Guatemala that shows how boys are helping shift the conversation on periods.

Shanna Marzilli, our president & CEO, reflects on the power of education and dignity.

Shurovi, a 14-year-old girl in Bangladesh, stands outside with four classmates in matching navy blue and white school uniforms. They smile proudly and confidently. A blue quote box with a yellow arrow pointing to Shurovi reads: “We can freely talk about our periods now, without fear. We no longer feel ashamed to go to the store and buy pads.” — Shurovi, 14, Bangladesh. The image includes the hashtag #MenstrualHealthDay. Photo: Izla Bethdavid, © Plan International.

Shurovi used to miss school during her period.

She was told to stay home, stay silent and stay ashamed.

Now? She speaks up. She shows up. She’s not alone.

Vagina Museum (@vagina_museum@masto.ai) Is menstrual blood "just blood"? No! The answer is actually much more interesting, and might actually be very exciting indeed! Here's what comes out in your period...

It's #MenstrualHealthDay! This is the perfect day to revisit why menstrual blood is not only nothing to be scared of, but might actually hold the key to some very exciting science... masto.ai/@vagina_muse...

Infographic on the chemistry of IUDs. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are among the most effective forms of birth control. These devices are inserted into the uterus and do not need to be replaced for several years. There are two types of IUD available: copper IUDs and hormonal IUDs. Copper IUDs slowly release copper ions into the uterine fluid, reducing the movement of sperm cells. Hormonal IUDs release a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone to prevent ovulation.

Today is #MenstrualHealthDay 🩸 To mark it, here's the second of my graphical collaborations with @periodically.bsky.social looking at the chemistry behind intrauterine devices and how they prevent pregnancy: wp.me/s4aPLT-iuds

Two people (Salmatou and Traore) wash their hands from a bucket tap in Burkina Faso in front of a yellow school building. Salmatou is wearing a blue and white striped skirt and a blue tshirt and Traore is wearing a red and black dress.

When people who menstruate have access to clean water, decent toilets, good hygiene and education, they can manage their periods with safety and dignity.

This helps girls stay in school longer and has a knock-on effect on the rest of their lives.
