The menstrual cycle has long been shrouded in mystery and stigma. From quiet conversations to euphemistic language, society has perpetuated a culture of silence around menstruation. This silence not only contributes to the gender health gap, but also inhibits open discussions about menstrual hygiene and health.
Challenge of the gender health gap
The gender health gap refers to inequalities in access to health care, treatment and research between men and women. Menstruation, often considered a taboo subject, has historically been neglected in health care, resulting in inadequate support and resources for people who menstruate (Johnson et al., 2009). We as PROJECT CYCLE aims to bridge this gap by addressing menstrual health needs through menstruation-focused, cycle-based skin care products.
Skincare has its cycle!
"Skincare has its cycle" summarizes PROJECT CYCLE's commitment to removing taboos around menstruation and promoting awareness of menstrual health. Through open discussions about the menstrual cycle and its impact on skin health, PROJECT CYCLE encourages people to embrace their natural rhythms and prioritize self-care. Through education, advocacy and innovative products, PROJECT CYCLE aims to empower people to feel confident and comfortable in their skin, regardless of their cycle.
Talk about it!
In addition to developing cycle-based skin care solutions, PROJECT CYCLE advocates for open and honest communication about menstruation. By creating a safe space for dialogue and breaking down barriers, PROJECT CYCLE strives to normalize conversations about the menstrual cycle and challenge societal taboos. By encouraging people to openly share their experiences and concerns, PROJECT CYCLE fosters a supportive community where everyone feels heard and understood.
