Ciclo 24: design para o conhecimento e autonomia menstrual

Abstract

Menstruation, despite being considered a contemporary topic in our society, is often viewed as unpleasant, dirty, and unclean. This perception influences how the subject is presented in social media and advertising, leading to harmful consequences and impacting the lives of those who menstruate. The taboo surrounding menstruation, the lack of information, and the limited access to sanitary pads and sanitation are some of the characteristics of menstrual poverty. To address this issue, this project has established an institution and developed a board game aimed at promoting knowledge and autonomy through understanding the menstrual cycle. This is achieved through workshops that teach co-creation techniques, with methodological references to participatory design and design thinking. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
