All people are welcome, it is a live event online and can be found on Instagram @midwifemarina & @doula_lopez. Topics covered in this online conversation are blood, fertility, reproduction, and sexuality. "The liberation of our body with decolonization robs us of our dignity because we not only lost our cultural heritage but also the connection to dignity for our bodies by knowing, being able to name it, listen to it and thus go through each stage of our lives with dignity from our menarche, gestation childbirth, postpartum until death, they have stolen our peace and freedom in our bodies".
TEMA: LIBERACIÓN DEL CUERPO Es liberar nuestros ciclos de: Temas a cubrir: sangre, fertilidad, reproducción y sexualidad ¿Por qué hoy? porque todos conocemos que el 12 de octubre es conocido por la invasión de los europeos a los pueblos indígenas ¿Elegimos este día? porque se habla de la colonización pero no como se descoloniza ¿Qué se celebra en algunos lugares? Estados Unidos de los indígenas Bolivia la descolonización. La organización mundial period.org celebra el día nacional de acción del periodo menstrual desde el 2019 Es el día para celebrar la visualización de la sangre. la liberación de nuestro cuerpo con la descolonización nos roba la dignidad porque no solo perdimos nuestro patrimonio cultural si no también la conexión la dignidad por nuestros cuerpos al conocer, poder nombrarlo escucharlo y así pasar cada etapa de nuestras vidas con dignidad desde nuestra menarquia, gestación parto, posparto hasta morir, nos han robado la paz la libertad en nuestros cuerpos.

PERIOD ACTION DAY - NAIROBI, KENYA
"Impure" will be shown in the cinema at 4 PM Kenyan time, coinciding with the Period Action Day. It will officially open in cinemas one day before, aligning with another important date, the International Day of the Girl Child, and has premiered in Kenya on September 7th 2024 in Kenya. "Impure" tells the poignant story of June, a twelve-year-old Kenyan girl who, after experiencing her first menstruation at school, is confronted with the cruel realities of exclusion and shame. "Impure" boldly tackles the taboo of "period shaming" and "period poverty”—subjects that continue to oppress millions of girls worldwide, preventing them from accessing education and equal opportunities. It is the first feature film to date, giving us a unique angle by putting the audience in the shoes of an affected girl to follow her through her struggle. This thought-provoking film is inspired by real-life tragedies, making its release not just a cinematic event, but a catalyst for change.
