Menstrual Freedom and Justice

Núria Capella and Bettina Steinbrugger / erdbeerwoche: Menstrual Freedom and Justice

Mon 04.11., 19h, Discussion, TQW Research Affiliation

Let’s talk about menstruation! Statistically, around two billion people menstruate every month. While talking about it still evokes reactions of shame, disgust, and mystification, there’s also a massive chorus fighting for menstrual freedom and justice. Dedicating this space to Núria Capella, a dancer researching menstruation in dance, and Bettina Steinbrugger, founder of erdbeerwoche, a vibrant voice in Austria’s menstrual rights fight, means being part of this movement. After a short input from both, we will discuss menstruation in dance, the rights of menstruating individuals in the workplace, and the pressing issue of period poverty.

Hosted by Gloria Marie-Elaine Berghäuser and Friederike Decker.
