Join the Photovoice Contest “I Feel You!”

<em>Photovoice contest to share your stories about your menstrual experience.</em><br>
5 May 2022

Abdominal pain, acne, discomfort, self-pity, etc.. Menstruation sounds not very “lovely”, but it brings truly lovely stories. A cake stuffed into your hand at the right time when craving sweets, a bottle of warm water next to you when your stomach is in pain, you think “no one understands me in this “bloody week”, however there are still adorable people around who always want to understand you.

#stopTHATstigma, it’s time to stop being ashamed when talking about your period. Instead, we come together to empathize, simply because menstruation is a beautiful thing that nourishes life and affection between all people.

I feel you photo voice contest - share your menstruation story through a photo
