Period Reality’s Manifesto - by A The Poet (2021)

  • “I was mostly always annoyed at having a cycle, and especially a peRiod. To be honest I Really didn’t know so much about it and only leaRned to appReciate it when I got pRegnant. I imagine my daughteR will peRceive the poweR and beauty of a cycle much eaRlieR than that."

    Chantal, she/her, the Netherlands, 37 years old.

  • "In our countRy - this is such a taboo. Some giRls aRen't allowed to go to school when they aRe on theiR peRiod. Some giRls aRen't even allowed to sleep in theiR house and aRe kept in a shed when they aRe bleeding."

    Devi, she/her, India, 24 years old.

  • "Oh gosh, I could neveR do a pResentation whilst on my peRiod. I would feel so much moRe confident duRing any otheR week, I would be much betteR at it then, too!"

    Alice, she/her, 52 years old.

  • "There are days I feel like I cannot stop chatting and some days I just want to be by myself. Now that I understand this is largely cycle-driven, I can plan my days better and fully optimise my social days whilst also creating time and space in my diary for those quieter days. My husband and kids now know this too which has increased harmony within our family"

  • "When I used to go to the gym, I had a stRict plan. Every day, I tRied getting theRe, incReasing my Reps oR weights. I have now leaRnt so much about how my body, my muscles, my inteRnal systems are Responding to exeRcise duRing the month. I now plan my tRaining depending on wheRe I am in my cycle. I get Results fasteR, feel betteR and healthier listening instead of demanding."

    Heather, United States of America.
