🩸Periods are natural. Pain, shame and silence shouldn’t be. 🌸 Did you know? Around 2.1 billion women and girls worldwide menstruate, yet many still face stigma, misinformation and barriers to care. Here are some important facts: ✅ More than 2 in 3 women and girls experience period pain. ✅ Heavy periods can lead to iron deficiency and anaemia. ✅ Around 500 million people lack access to menstrual products, clean water or safe facilities to manage their periods with dignity. Seek medical advice if your periods are: 🔹 Extremely painful 🔹 Very heavy 🔹 Irregular or absent 🔹 Affecting your school, work or daily life Remember: ➡️ Periods are not dirty. ➡️ Periods are not shameful. ➡️ And severe pain is not something you simply have to live with. 🤝✨ Let’s talk openly, support one another and make sure everyone can manage their periods safely, comfortably and with dignity.
