Shades of Red
The Gender Issue
Not everyone with a period is a woman, and not all women have periods. While the gender identities of people with periods might vary, our rights and opportunities should be equal. Everyone deserves to be able to speak openly and honestly about their period experiences without fear or shame.
Sadly, this isn’t always the reality and people who aren’t women with periods can often be left out of the conversation. In this zine, we’re excited to have worked with some incredible creators to help platform the more marginalised voices of people with periods. We’d love for you to read, enjoy, and learn!
