Conversation is one of our most powerful tools in the fight against period poverty and menstrual stigma. Recently, TESMI hosted the #BleedWithDignity Period Story Competition, inviting young people to reclaim the narrative around menstruation through creative writing and personal storytelling.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible participants, judges, and supporters who made this event a resounding success.
Together, we are building a world where no one feels hidden or embarrassed simply because they bleed.
