In the midst of the pandemic, femicides and domestic violence cases reached alarming numbers. The Puerto Rico Section of Amnesty International (AIPR), a worldwide movement of people fighting against human rights abuses, decided to put the distressing data in front of the people to compel action. The result was The Bloody Data, a shocking campaign highlighting the statistical data on women who have bled from femicides in Puerto Rico during 2020. The campaign launched on November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. The twist? Menstrual blood remains a taboo in Puerto Rico and is considered by many to be repulsive. Still the bloodshed of women due to violence doesn’t generate such disgust. Amnesty presents de data using menstrual pads, cup and tampons, challenging viewers to rethink their bias and direct outrage to the only blood that should be disgusting: the blood spilled by gender violence. The campaign lived in print, outdoor, social media and www.thebloodydata.com, a website were ultimately you could sign a petition calling for an official stance from Puerto Rico’s government against gender violence. The petition gathered hundreds of signatures and attracted support in more than 25 countries around the world and grabbed the attention of newspapers and online media. Two months after its launch, Governor Pedro Pierluisi declared a State of Emergency for Gender Violence in Puerto Rico. The executive order prioritizes gender issues in all government agencies, calling for the implementation of comprehensive sexual education with gender perspective, a deep change in the police and judicial system to serve victims with dignity and allocates money from the national budget to address gender violence.

A new sea food brand was created and put on the shelves of supermarkets in Anapa, a coastal city. However, instead of actual food there was a rubbish, caught in the sea off the coast in Anapa. A sea cocktail of tins, Black sea mix of plastic bottles, cigarette stubs as sea bulls and a seafood salad with plastic bags – all this could be found on the shelves in shops during the campaign which ended with a city-wide community work day. The design of the package was created using the most frequent rubbish found in sea – plastic bottles, cups and bags, cigarette stubs and tins. This rubbish was put through a linocut after being colored with typographic colors. Final images were photoshopped and used in the packaging.

While many period stigmas and misconceptions stem from centuries of baseless taboos and lack of education, even women in developed countries with adequate education systems feel shame and an inability to talk about periods. This proves that period shaming transcends culture and society. Unfortunately, it is universal. Because of this, issues associated with menstruation such as period poverty exist with its victims unable to speak out and seek help. We were tasked with undoing period stigmas and change the way the world talks about them. Connecting Periods encourages period positive language amongst people who were already trying to become more effective and impactful communicators by partnering with Grammarly. The millions of daily Grammarly users make mistakes such as misusing periods or forgetting them altogether. We saw that as an opportunity to raise awareness on societal shaming of periods, encourage period positive language, and literally position periods as a normal topic of discussion that doesn’t need to be euphemized or hidden.
