Anuhya Korrapati, a menstrual health activist, tells us, “Twenty-five million women in India have endometriosis and very few are lucky to be diagnosed and treated appropriately.” Statistics like this, prevalent across menstrual disorders, make the work of patient-advocacy groups and period health-awareness projects like The Biological Reality (TBR) not only important but also urgent.
TBR is an audio-visual project that began in March 2021 and documents the reality faced by individuals with chronic menstrual illnesses. This includes menstruation at the margins — with disabled, queer and transgender menstruators; individuals diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), adenomyosis, endometriosis and uterine fibroids, and those experiencing menopause.
