Menstrual Hygiene Day is celebrated annually on May 28 to symbolize the average duration of the menstrual cycle.
The mission of the Menstrual Hygiene Day movement is to create a menstruation-friendly world, where menstruating is a normal fact of life and menstruation is no longer stigmatized.
The campaign was initially for illustrating aesthetics' concepts of Material Design and Brutalism with this movement's website project.
The movement was carried on by WASH United and was first celebrated in 2014. WASH United is a non-profit based in Berlin/Germany, founded in 2011, with a focus on menstrual health and hygiene (MHH), focusing on strengthening the global MHH ecosystem by offering free, easy-to-use solutions for awareness, advocacy, and education, and engages in strategic advocacy throughout the year.
The Green Channel celebrates Menstrual Hygiene Day by raising awareness about non-polluting alternatives to menstrual pads and tampons.
Besides The Vagina Monologues, I also initiated a book on the iconography of the theme, Vagina, under my catch-all-books pseudonym Alex Webb, which was carried on by Naomi Wolf, an author I dig and that also took my initiated Fire Against Fire and who took those books further that I could do it myself with limited research resources.
