Eight in 10 women feel they are held back in their careers by taboos around periods, new research has revealed, with stress and anxiety dominating the lives of working women when they are menstruating.
To mark Menstrual Hygiene Day on Sunday, WaterAid surveyed 2,000 British women and people who menstruate who work onsite and found a staggering 85 per cent reported experiencing stress or anxiety when managing their periods at work, highlighting how menstrual taboos are still rife in the UK.
