red revolution
At red revolution, we are on a bold journey to transform the narrative surrounding menstruation. We’re not just normalizing it, but completely revolutionizing the way we see it...where menstruation is celebrated as the badass gift it truly is.
Stats: The why...
- 6 in 10 teens feel personally affected by NEGATIVE associations of menstruation
- 55% of people associate periods with words like "dirty"
- Over 80% of girls fear being teased.
- 88% of teens hide products, and 36% have missed school due to stigma or lack of resources.
- 62% of women aged 16-54 put off going to a doctor with symptoms of endometriosis because they'd be embarrassed. (PERIOD.org)
When 62% of us are too embarrassed to talk to a doctor about our symptoms, it’s clear that the "secrecy" of the past is still hurting us today.
A Revolution- "Forcible overthrow of a social order, in favor of a new system..."
With each new positive experience we, one by one, overthrow the systems in our minds, we kill off the neural pathways that connect shame and embarrassment with menstruation. We revolutionize our inner narrative and create a new system of operation, one where our automatic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are ones of pride, strength and empowerment.
