There is growing acknowledgment that menstruation discrimination is sex discrimination, and even intersectional discrimination, involving discrimination on the basis of sex and gender identity, or sex and disability. There is an understanding that menstrual injustices violate human rights. Nonetheless, discrimination, stigma, and human rights violations continue. Why?

Professor Margaret Johnson from the University of Baltimore School of Law coined the terms menstrual injustice and menstrual justice in 2018 as she attempted to catalogue the ways in which discrimination against individuals who menstruate manifests, to understand the root of the discrimination, and to construct pathways towards addressing the injustices. In this talk, Professor Johnson will discuss the collaborative work she has done to address menstrual justice with grassroots advocates and researchers in the United States and Australia, as well as with an international coalition.
