Today's episode marks the start of Women's March, 2022 edition.  As the name suggest, for the month of March, since the 8th is International Women’s Day, I’m going to be doing 4 women empowerment and feminism focused episodes, bringing different guests from different walks of life, to talk all about their experience with being a woman, feminism & women empowerment. 

For this first episode I decided to bring on people from the Period Movement: Marcela Reyes, research coordinator at Period Guatemala and Alexis, president of the Period Chapter at Case Western Reserve University at Cleveland, Ohio.  

We talked about: 

- What is the Period Movement and how did they found out about it and decided to get involved 

- Their actions towards menstrual education, advocacy and service 

- What's the difference between a national chapter, like Guatemala's and a university one, like the CWR one 

- What does menstrual equity mean and how long until we can achieve it 

- Where period stigma comes from and how we can help to combat it 

- Why is it important to stop the silence around period talk 

- The importance of education when it comes to menstrual equity 

- What are the main needs of each chapter and their initiatives for 2022 

- What's the most fulfilling part about being part of Period 

- What does feminism mean to them and who is a role model for them when it comes to women empowerment
