On this month’s FLOW, peak behind the curtain of the award-winning comedic web-series Stop the Bleeding!
The guests share personal stories about learning about and dealing with hemophilia, periods, and the significance of portraying these issues through their characters on STBhemo.com - and the joys of benign part of an ( animated ) series that tackles choosing pride, dismantling shame, and raising awareness - specifically that women have hemophilia too!

The World Health Organization calls for menstrual health to be recognized, framed, and addressed as a health and human rights issue, and that all menstruators should be able “to live, study, and work in an environment in which menstruation is seen as positive and healthy and not something to be ashamed of and to be able to participate in work and social activities fully.”
And FLOW echoes that call.
