Reclaiming Your Blood: Decolonizing the Menstrual Cycle
Ever wondered why “being on your period” is so demonized, pathologized and deemed as shameful by society, culture, religion, and the medical system? It’s not because there is something demonic or “wrong” or disgusting with menstruation or the people who experience it. It is because the dominant systems in power are colonial and patriarchal – that is, they are built and controlled by (and for) men, and are inherently racist and misogynist.
Confessions of a Chronic Pee-er: Pelvic Floor Information & Misinformation
In May of 2023, I started going to the bathroom a lot, but nothing would come out. It felt like I had forgotten how to pee. This struggle led me to explore the complexities of my body and the often-ignored pelvic floor. I met Karina, an occupational therapist, who opened my eyes to the importance of pelvic health for everyone, regardless of gender or age. From understanding the role of breath to recognizing the impact of trauma, my journey through pelvic floor therapy has been transformative. Discover how reconnecting with our bodies can lead to healing and empowerment.
How much does it cost to menstruate in Canada?
Menstruation in Canada comes with a hidden price tag that goes far beyond the cost of pads and tampons. With one in four Canadians viewing periods as dirty and unclean, the stigma surrounding menstruation remains strong. Alarmingly, 17% of menstruators face menstrual poverty, a figure that rises to 25% in lower-income households. Over a lifetime, the financial burden can reach up to $6,000, not including additional costs like pain relief. Discover the realities of period poverty, its impact on diverse communities, and the resources available to help those in need across the country.
