The Silent Epidemic: How Menstrual Health Can No Longer Be Ignored.
Women’s health has been historically neglected and is still treated as a marginal issue — despite affecting 52% of the population.
Today, medical research focused on the female body, receives only 0.5 to 4% of national medical research budgets. What are the human and financial consequences of this gap? What does this mean for individuals, companies, and society as a whole? And most importantly — what can we do about it?
In this interactive workshop, we’ll begin with a broad social analysis, before diving into menstrual health with a specific focus on the growing epidemic of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). We will explore their incidence, impact, and available solutions — both systemic and personal.
Beyond awareness, this session is about empowerment. We’ll discuss practical tools to better manage your cycle and why doing so matters — so women can fully participate and thrive as active members of society.
What to expect:
An interactive and engaging discussion
Key data and social insights on women’s health
A deep dive into PMS and PMDD
Practical tools and actionable steps for cycle management
Guidance on how women can advocate for themselves and drive change
The evening closes with a tea tasting, cycle-synced snacks for each phase of the cycle, and a first look at LayaCycle — a platform being built to give women faster answers, personalized natural care, and a community that takes their symptoms seriously.
