Last September, I visited The Red House Period Museum, which opened in Taipei, Taiwan.
It is the world's first menstruation museum, which aims to eradicate taboos and prejudices surrounding menstruation.

"Period poverty" is also a problem in Taiwan, with approximately 9% of women struggling to purchase sanitary products.

I felt that visiting the museum would be a catalyst for resolving issues surrounding menstruation, making it more familiar to people and providing a space where people can talk about it openly and casually.

The theme of "menstruation" transcends countries, regions, and languages.
This is an issue that we would like to tackle together as a team, connecting with the world and working together internationally.

It is the first menstrual museum in the world that aims to dispel the taboo and prejudice against menstruation.

Period poverty is also a problem in Taiwan. Around 9% of women in Taiwan struggle to buy menstrual products.

Visiting the museum, we felt that by making menstruation more accessible and making it a place where people can easily and openly talk about it, it would be an opportunity to solve the problems surrounding menstruation.

It is run by the NPO "With Red" which was founded by young people in their 20s. “The Red House Period Museum” (Taipei City)

The first and second floors are gallery spaces.

On the second floor, sanitary napkins, tampons, menstrual shorts and other educational materials about menstruation are on display, allowing you to see, touch and learn.

The museum is visited by many people, regardless of age or gender. It is open to the public free of charge, so anyone can easily deepen their knowledge about menstruation.
