Natalia Vodianova Takes Up Tabu Around Menstruation

All of Natalia Vodianova’s projects and digital app investments interest AOC but her February 2021 appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund is top of list. In particular, Vodianova will tackle the taboo and stigma of menstruation, an irrational mindset that “has undermined the most basic needs and rights of women.”

The reality of menstruation as bodily function for child-bearing women (forgive me if AOC has insulted men with artificial wombs or trans men capable of bearing children) serves as “evidence” of a need for female banishment to secluded and unsanitary living quarters in many parts of the world.

This is the last topic of sexual repression that a woman of privilege like Natalia V needs to take up in life. And yet she does — and for that we adore her many efforts.
