Our Revolution Has Style: Contemporary Menstrual Product Activists “Doing Feminism” in the Third Wave Menstrual product activism is loosely defined as various attempts to expose the hazards of commercial “feminine protection” to both women’s bodies and the environment and the promotion of healthier, less expensive, and less resource-intensive alternatives. Learn more about this activist movement which started in the mid 1970s, about the “do it yourself” ethic and anti-corporate philosophy of Punk culture, about the Third Wave feminist ideals and the resilience of a woman-centred modern history of resistance.

As mentioned, the full team is back at the office, after many months of being scattered due to Covid and lock downs. Laure, Pranathi, Celia and Sugandha are happily back all together at the office now! We even had time to celebrate 2 birthdays and to have a one-day retreat to work on the connection with ourselves, with others and with nature. This is an ongoing team work we are doing since early this year with an ex-team member Lakshmi who founded the Inner Climate Academy. The Inner Climate Academy provides spaces for inner reflection, dialogue, and facilitated explorations that lead to personal and societal transformation of our relationship with the living Earth. Have a look at her website to understand this beautiful, deep, connective and meaningful work she in undertaking for humanity and the earth. |
