Dysmenorrhea: An Inclusive Journey

This interdisciplinary endeavor delves into the intricate intersection of societal, cultural, religious, psychological, and medical perspectives surrounding dysmenorrhea, a condition marked by painful menstruation.

Through collaborative efforts with students, the project seeks to amplify the voices and experiences of those affected by dysmenorrhea. Zine workshops serve as a platform for participants to share their personal narratives, fostering empowerment and solidarity within the community.

Furthermore, the project expands its global reach by conducting interviews with women from diverse cultural backgrounds. These stories serve as the cornerstone for a visual storytelling component, illuminating the varied manifestations and impacts of dysmenorrhea across different societies.

Acknowledging the profound impact of dysmenorrhea on women's lives, particularly in the workplace and broader society, the project collaborates with pelvic pain organizations in the UK. Together, they launch open call campaigns aimed at raising awareness and destigmatizing conversations surrounding menstrual health.

As an ongoing initiative, "Dysmenorrhea: An Inclusive Journey" endeavors to challenge societal norms, break down barriers, and advocate for greater understanding and support for individuals living with dysmenorrhea. Through art, education, and advocacy, the project aims to foster a more inclusive and empathetic environment for all.
