BEYOND BLEEDING: a zine about menstrual health & period experiences

Beyond Bleeding is a resource created by girls, for girls that shares sisterly insights and advice on menstrual health and period experiences.

Beyond Bleeding moves beyond the most basic information and helps girls understand how to work with their menstrual cycle, written from the perspective of an older sister or friend who’s been there.

• designed to be easily printable on a regular printer at low cost

• unbound, so girls can easily make copies

• girls can share and make copies for the girls around them.

Beyond Bleeding was written with girls who have little to no access to the internet in mind, but it is a valuable tool for any girl. The zine can be considered a sister resource to our existing My Period Diary.

This project was produced by girls aged 14 to 22 in our Girl Activist Fellowship.
