A small request to every husband, father, brother, friend and colleague reading this.
Periods are not just a few days of bleeding.
For many women, those few days can bring changes in energy, mood, sleep, appetite, concentration and overall well-being.
The more we understand this, the less we judge and the more we support.
Sometimes what looks like “laziness”, “irritability” or “overreacting” may simply be someone going through a physically and emotionally demanding phase of their cycle.
Awareness doesn’t mean treating women differently.
It means treating them with a little more understanding.
And if you’re a woman, don’t ignore what your body is trying to tell you every month.
