AB  - The natural biological occurrence of menstruation occurs among half of the world’s population, yet the experience of those who menstruate is not commonly discussed.  Challenges related to menstruation include stigma and shame around menstruation, access to menstrual health services, the invisibility of menstrual pain, management of menstrual flow, lack of menstrual education, the menstrual experiences of trans and non-binary people, period poverty, and early menopause among other issues. Current conversations and education around menstruation are inadequate and do not address the root cause of menstrual marginalization: shame and stigma that is deeply ingrained in our shared cultural experience from myriad sources.  This Special Collection seeks to address this entrenched stigma by highlighting research conducted in a variety of disciplines, among diverse groups in a variety of cultural traditions, and throughout the reproductive life course.
