Brief Biographical Sketch:
Hi! My name is Karley Yung and I am a junior studying biomedical engineering. I am super passionate about menstrual equity and love talking and educating about periods. I have taught the Splash class "Periods, Pads, and Period Poverty" before with YaleBleeds, and I worked extensively with menstrual equity in high school as well. I will be teaching "Sustainable Menstrual Products 101" this semester as a collaboration with GREEN at Yale and YaleBleeds!

X4541: Period, Pads, and Period Poverty in Splash Spring 2022 (Apr. 16, 2022)
YaleBleeds would like to teach a class about menstrual equity and health. We will discuss topics ranging from how to put in a tampon, why we bleed, managing periods, methods of birth control, and the worldwide inaccessibility of hygiene products. Menstrual health is a taboo topic. However, if not addressed, it can cause serious physical and mental health consequences. Statistics show that 25% of women have missed a class because they get their periods and don’t have access to menstrual products. Further, miseducation can lead to fatal illnesses such as toxic shock syndrome and undiagnosed hormone-induced depression. Raising awareness for menstrual health is essential for the safety for all menstruators. This would be our fourth year teaching this class!
