March 8th is International Women’s Day to “celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women from all around the world.” In 1977 the United Nations agreed to declare March 8th as the official day to observe International Women’s Day though it first emerged in the early 1900s.
March is Women’s History Month and as we enter this month as women it is important to acknowledge some women who have helped paved way for us. Women’s History Month has been celebrated since 1987 when Congress declared the entire month of March as the official month. Even before 1987 women have made history and found a way to leave their mark on the world.

Stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, and imbalanced hormone can also contribute to painful periods. Periods don’t have to be painful and there are ways that menstruating women can have pain-free periods.

Menstruation can be a very confusing topic to understand. There are so many different parts of menstruation and the female body; not every woman menstruates the same. Diversity surrounds us every day and where some women can relate to you in some ways when it comes to menstruation, they aren’t able to relate to you in every way. For first-time menstruators, it can be even more difficult to understand especially without the proper education.
