Bleeding on the Job
ADDRESSING MENSTRUATION AT WORK AND CREATING A PERIOD-FRIENDLY WORLD
Closes for Contributions on Nov 07, 2022
Lead Author: Nimisha Gandhi
The book highlights the perspectives of bleeding people from all walks of life. From the executive who has to pretend her excruciating period does not exist to the farm worker who is forced to have a hysterectomy to continue working, to the imprisoned woman subjugated to abuse for menstrual products. While they seem like very different people, there is a common red thread tying these women together. Part story-telling, part data-driven, Bleeding On The Job, sheds light on the hidden yet painful realities women face daily around the world.
The book will be a canvas of narratives from all around the globe of people who bleed and people who don't.
