OPEN CALL FOR THE NONPROFIT WORLD 2026: SELECTED NGOGinevra Bonina for Pinkishe Foundation
Out for Blood

This is a documentary project on period poverty in India, where blood is both symbol and condemnation, and a natural biological phenomenon transforms into stigma control, shaping lives, bodies, and futures. Through voices from Hindu, Muslim, and Adivasi communities, the project explores inequality, exclusion, violence, and lack of access to hygiene and education. Beyond a health issue, menstruation emerges as a matter of human rights and self-determination.
