Abstract

Abstract The volume discusses stigma and menstrual experiences from menarche to menopause across a wide range of disciplines and geographic areas. It utilises academics, activists, and artists from the Global South and North to explore common concerns such as period poverty, product sustainability, and the environmental impact. Researchers utilise a range of research techniques including creative and visual methods to explore emerging fields in menstrual studies. With a focus on culture, stigma, and lived experiences this collection critically discusses dignity and inclusivity. The volume addresses issues of trans and non-binary menstruation, ageism and menopause, as well as the nexus of menstruation and disability. It focuses on lived experiences, policymaking, and the communication of menstruation in the public sphere through education and within the media.
