Bloody Amazing - Who we are:
We are an emergent social enterprise based in Scotland aiming to make period education part of the curriculum in Scottish schools, including all that comes with that - hormones, emotions, preparing for menopause and healthcare. We believe that all people 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.
We also believe in the importance of ending stigma when it comes to talking about periods and other issues that impact our bodies. Periods and later, menopause impact more than half of the population and should not be a source of shame.

We believe that all information should appeal to as many different people as possible who are impacted by issues relating to menstruation and menopause, regardless of gender identity, age, race, or disability. We also believe that information should be free - you should not have to pay to have information displayed clearly and consistently.
