158. Carolina Ramírez on Decolonizing Menstrual Hygiene & Education in Latin America
What is the colonial history of menstrual health, hygiene and education in Latin America? How important is the language used in family settings, schools, business ads, health clinics and government policies to reproduce or reduce the menstrual shame and stigma that is passed on through generations? Why words such as "hygiene", "poverty" and "purification" are used by international development agendas to address menstruation as a "sanitation crises" in the Global South? What needs to change in the local and international approach to decolonize menstrual health, hygiene and education in this region?
On World Menstrual Hygiene Day 2023, we feature a Spanish-language interview with Psychologist Carolina Ramirez, founder of Princesas Menstruantes, Escuela de Educación Emancipadas and Coordinator of Encuentro Latinoamericano de Educación, Salud y Activismos Menstruales.
