Final Year Project
Project Title
Menstruating while Student: Coming Back to Campus after Lockdown in Pakistan.
Description
The Coronavirus pandemic has created unprecedented situations and issues for the whole world. Pakistan, like the rest of the world, went into multiple lockdowns, which resulted in schools and universities being closed for several months. The lockdown in Pakistan was lifted a while ago, and menstruators have returned to their university campuses since, and so the purpose of this study was to explore what it meant for menstruators to come back to their campuses. My research question was "what does it mean for females who menstruate to go back to their university campuses after lockdown has been lifted in Pakistan?" This research was a qualitative exploratory study with a feminist approach. The conclusion of this research was the recommendation of a well-representative menstrual leave policy as well as the provision of on and off campus facilities provided by the higher-education institutes of Pakistan.
