We need to make our workplace a place where people feel comfortable talking about things that were not discussed before. Menstrual health is one of these things.

Menstrual health is something that happens to people every month. It affects how they feel and their health. This is not something that happens at home. It also affects how people feel at work. They might feel tired. Not be able to focus. If we do not talk about health at work people might struggle without saying anything. This can also mean they do not work well as they can.

If you understand what menstrual health is and we talk about it openly we can make our workplace a nicer place to be. We can do things like give people menstrual products and let them take breaks when they need to.

**What do you think companies can do to help people with health? Menstrual health is important. Companies should support it. Share your ideas, about health and how companies can help with menstrual health.**

Health is priority. Understanding the women in work, when they go through a periods might me be good. Even a small gesture can bring huge changes.
