Subject: Invitation to Participate in Research on Language and Menstruation


I am currently conducting a research project examining language use
and stigma surrounding menstruation across different cultural
contexts. The aim of this study is to collect terms used to refer to
menstruation in various countries and to explore their meanings,
cultural implications, and connotations.
To support this research, I have created a brief Google Form to gather
responses. I am seeking female participants who would be willing to
share a word or expression used in their country, along with an
explanation of its cultural significance or implied meaning.
If you are interested in contributing, please access the form using
the link below:

Your participation would be greatly appreciated and will contribute
meaningfully to this research.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
