Aditi Gupta launched Menstrupedia four years ago and since then the platform has already made a significant contribution to opening up the conversation on menstruation. The organisation aims to promote awareness and act as a guide to periods for girls and women, using a website, social media including a YouTube channel, and a comic book. The Menstrupedia comic is a colourful, fun and accessible guide to menstruation, following the journey of three young girls and their experiences with periods. Each character represents a stage of adolescence - girls who haven’t started their period yet and want to learn more about them; girls who have just started their period and want advice on how to prepare for them; and girls who have had periods for some time and might be curious about the myths surrounding them. The comic, aimed at girls ages 9 and above, has since been integrated into the curriculum of 70 schools across India and translated into 11 languages.
