| Outline | This project aims to address the taboo around menstruation and the lack of information exchange among women of ethnic minority (specifically Pakistani & Indian ladies who live in Kwun Tong & To Kwa Wan). Because of the taboo, these women found it difficult to discuss with one another, even when they are facing challenges related to their menstruation. Some women lack menstrual education resources and awareness of body autonomy. Through this project, scientifically accurate knowledge will be introduced, as well as a variety of menstrual products that may alleviate the irritancies of menstrual cycles. The goal of this project is for the women to understand their bodies more accurately and free of shame. Media Coverage(Chinese Only)： 明報 社會實驗：打開月事用品新世界 穆斯林婦女開明講「經」 |
