#Menstruation isn't an easy topic to explore on social media, but I was pleased to see this post on Facebook , about a group in #Carterville , #Illinois that's confronting the topic head on. No one person can save the world. But every person in the world can try to make a positive difference. For #MondayMotivation , I tip my hat to the group Steady On for partnering with the ladies of #CartervilleFirstPresbyterian to offer an afternoon tea to talk about the issue of #periodshame , and to try to raise funds to help reduce period shame in #ElSalvador with reusable, sanitary feminine hygiene kits distributed by the Days for Girls International organization. On my LinkedIn page and in my freelance writing and consulting work, I try to contribute by sharing #globalhealth , #reproductivejustice and #globaldevelopment information. Nearly 600,000 followers later, I feel like I'm making a difference. I can't find jobs for all the young people who contact me. I don't own a company, so I can't hire anyone. I can only hope that my journey and my desire to inform will help grow the army of global citizens who understand there's more to connect us than separate us. Thanks for sharing the information, Matt Baughman . #girlsandwomen #genderjustice #reproductivehealth …see more
