Across education, pupils tell us that their education about periods isn’t enough, and #teachers tell us their training is inadequate. If you are a UK teacher or trainee teacher, please, tell us what you think by taking this short survey: shusls.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8i… #periodpositive🩸

Data can be a powerful force for change, but as long as the story is about women damaging their careers through motherhood rather than society damaging itself through not supporting parents- progress will be piecemeal. #motherhoodpenalty

New research alert! A review of UK textbooks has revealed that menstrual physiology is almost universally reduced to only its hormonal coordination. This has negative impacts for research, health, and gender equality. menstrual-matters.com/black-box/
