But what is this day really about? If it\u2019s about celebrating women\u2019s nature, their power and their role in the society, then are we sure that buying them some flowers is enough to show them our support? Personally, I would like to <a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/challenge\/ircgivepadwings\">use this day differently<\/a>, pointing out an aspect of the female nature that is still omitted from many conversations about women. I am talking about period and all the things it entails. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"pa-embeded-image\" href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/i\/image-happy-womensday-ladies-lets-use-this-day-to-celebrate-258205809012202\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn130.picsart.com\/258205809012202.jpg\" alt=\"Happy #WomensDay, ladies!

But the worst part is that we are not entirely free to talk about it. To give you an example, if a woman gets her period unexpectedly today, in 2018, she still feels ashamed of asking out loud for a pad. And no woman would take it out of her bag without trying to hide it. A normal and useful hygienic product has turned into a symbol of shame. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-33900\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-with-butterfly-wings-780x780.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-with-butterfly-wings-780x780.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-with-butterfly-wings-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-with-butterfly-wings-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-with-butterfly-wings-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-with-butterfly-wings.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many efforts have been made to break the taboo, and I have personally launched the \u201cLet\u2019s talk about it. Period.\u201d campaign, trying to change things. Now we need to support the conversation further, but in a way that people can better understand and embrace. A touch of art can make our message so much easier to spread. And of course, here I need all your help. Can you see the picture below? Yes, it\u2019s a pad \u263a and I\u2019m asking you to <a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/challenge\/ircgivepadwings\">give it wings! <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-33901\" src=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-on-red-carpet-being-photographed-780x780.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"780\" height=\"780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-on-red-carpet-being-photographed-780x780.jpg 780w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-on-red-carpet-being-photographed-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-on-red-carpet-being-photographed-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-on-red-carpet-being-photographed-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cdnblog.picsart.com\/2018\/03\/Pad-on-red-carpet-being-photographed.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s make it the protagonist of our beautiful art. For the first time, a pad will be at the centre of the stage. You can see some examples here, but I am sure your artworks will be so much better!
