Poorer Latina

Like the Republican Party or Bill Clinton, horror films have not traditionally been kind to women. Although horror films need women, oftentimes they're little more than the sum of their body parts: the literal meat and grist upon which the genre is built.Whether fodder to be cranked through the torture porn mill or sliced and diced by truck-driving psychos, parts for female actors are often horribly underwritten (and underdressed).

Even though billions of people around the world menstruate, the biological reality of the period has long been, and to some degree remains, stigmatized. A menstrual health app called Clue, which launched in 2013 and has more than two million users, intends to change that. Clue recently partnered with the International Women's Health Coalition to conduct an unprecedented global survey that measured the experiences of nearly 90,000 women in 190 countries around the world.
