The Period Stigma Women Still Hold & A 3-Step Hack To Keep Kids Safe Online

It’s 2025, and we’re still whispering the word period. Despite being a natural, regular part of life for half the population, periods are still wrapped in shame and silence.

We’re unpacking why the stigma still exists, and how it continues to impact women and people who menstruate today. Plus, the 3 simple phone settings experts say you should change now to help keep your kids safe online — without totally invading their privacy. And in headlines today Opposition leader Peter Dutton has been narrowly declared the winner of last night's third leaders debate; Labor has promised to protect women from financial abuse, making perpetrators liable for debt created in their victims name and blocking them from getting their victims super after death; The Coalition has promised an extra $21 billion to be spent on defence if they win at the election; A 4.6 magnitude earthquake has struck the Hunter Valley town of Singleton shaking residents of parts of Sydney awake just before 3am; The Pope now lays in state ahead of the funeral to be held on Saturday attended by dignitaries including Prince William; The Academy who oversee the Oscars, will now enforce a rule that all who vote in the awards will have to prove they have watched all the movies that are nominated.
