TUESDAY: HEAR OUR VOICES
Tuesday: Hear Our Voices
Every Tuesday we hear the voices of girls and women—sharing real stories about periods, dignity, confidence, and everyday life. Because every voice matters, and every story can inspire change.
Example stories ready to post — you can keep them anonymous:
-
Example 1 (school): Hear Our Voices | Tuesday
“I used to stay home on heavy days because I was afraid of leaking. It made me feel behind in class. Now I feel more confident and I don’t want to miss school.” — A., 15 -
Example 2 (dignity + stigma): Hear Our Voices | Tuesday
“In my community we didn’t talk about periods. I thought something was wrong with me. When I learned it’s normal, I felt less ashamed—and I started helping my younger sister too.” — M., 19 -
Example 3 (work + mobility): Hear Our Voices | Tuesday
“I work long hours and I need something dependable. Feeling secure changes everything—how I walk, how I speak, how I show up.” — S., 28 -
Example 4 (PWD inclusion): Hear Our Voices | Tuesday
“People assume disability means you don’t have monthly needs. I do. I want privacy, comfort, and respect like anyone else.” — N., 22
