PERIOD. is a co-operative card game designed to address prejudices related to menstruation and menstruating
women. The game, encourages dialogue around the otherwise tabooed issue of menstruation and acts as a conversation
starter, recognizing a woman’s power to express their choice and voice their opinion. It is played by both men
and women alike, sensitizing them regarding this integral issue, and creating a sense of empathy. The game play is
such that one enters the places that stereotypes menstruating women or is inaccessible to them; such as a place of
worship, sports field, workplace or school. Collective and cooperative actions can help break these prejudices and
winning is possible, in the game as well as the real world.
