At the ongoing Menstrual Research Network conference #MRN2023 Menstruation Research Network I find the History of UK Sanitary Bin Industry fascinating to me cos it makes me think about menstrual Sanitary situations in low resource settings and how the problems can be addressed. #MHD2023

#MRN2023 why should we study menstruation as structural. Why menstruation is a welfare State issue And why liberal welfare States made progressive laws. Today at Menstruation Research Network 🩸

So interesting to hear about feminist activism around periods in China. We meed so much more research on the amazing period activism that is happening in Asia #MRN2023

Interesting research from Dr. Maria Tomlinson on how Yorkshire students feel about reusable menstruation products, including observation that sustainable products get ignored by the media.
