Bloody Amazing - Who we are:
Bloody Amazing are a teacher-led social enterprise based in Scotland, who aim to make period education part of the curriculum in Scottish schools, including all that comes with it- hormones, emotions, preparing for menopause and how to ensure you can access the best healthcare for you. We believe that all women, girls and others with periods have the right to find out about their bodies, what to expect during their cycle, problems to be aware of, how to advocate for themselves and how to prepare for their future.
Therefore, we aim to make information on this website easy to navigate, clear and applicable to a wide range of people. We believe everyone should know what a healthy period looks like and how to support others, whether or not they are personally impacted!
We also believe in the importance of ending stigma when it comes to talking about periods and other issues that impact our bodies. Menstruation and menopause impact more than half of the population and should not be a source of shame.
