Founder @chellaquint shares her thoughts as we approach the UK general election, and what keeps her inspired to commit to better menstrual literacy for all. #menstruationmatters
As the UK election nears, I'm disheartened that menstruation education isn't explicitly on any party's agenda. Help me harness the power of collective action pushing for a more menstrually literate UK. linkedin.com/feed/update/urn… #periodpositive #menstruationmatters #ukpolitics

And on a personal note, congrats and thanks to hard-working friends and colleagues across several parties on their successes today. Big or small, it all adds up to what we hope will be positive change, particularly for those who have been most disenfranchised by the last govt.
