Debate on destigmatizing menstruation and addressing menstrual poverty in the Czech and Slovak context.
Menstruation is a regular, cyclical, and completely natural part of life for many people – yet it's still often spoken about in whispers. And for many, financial barriers make even basic menstrual hygiene products inaccessible.
Together with experts from Czech and Slovak initiatives @sola.pomaha, @dostojnamenstruacia and @intymyta, we’ll openly discuss:
- Who is actually affected by menstrual poverty (and why it's crucial to speak about menstruating people, not just women),
- What material support looks like in practice and what it takes to make systemic change,
- How stigma impacts access to education, healthcare, and everyday dignity,
- Why menstrual justice is a matter of human rights and social inclusion.
Moderated by Terézia Ferjančeková – co-creator of Vyhonit ďábla, face of the educational series Na záchodcích for Czech Television, and activist for free access to menstrual products.
Come join an open, inclusive, and shame-free conversation about menstruation – the way it deserves to be heard.
🎟️ Recommended admission for the event is 100 CZK. The venue has limited capacity, but you can reserve your spot in advance. You can make a reservation for free or choose to support us by booking for 100 CZK – the amount you contribute does not affect your entry, but your support helps the festival (covering materials for art workshops, venue rental, or guest fees). If reservations for a particular program are fully booked, don't worry – you can still come and check at the entrance 5 to 10 minutes before the event starts to see if any spaces have opened up. Very often, a few spots become available. For those who have reserved a place, we recommend arriving 5 to 10 minutes before the event begins.
