This April, we celebrate five years of Period! Magazine in an English edition. (The Dutch edition is a bit older). We also celebrate a growing list of contributors from all over the world (USA, GB, Ireland, Canada, Scandinavia, Madagascar, Uganda, Kenya, Australia, India, Bonaire, Argentina, Bangladesh, Portugal, Egypt, Nepal, Rwanda, Zambia and of course The Netherlands). Thank you for all the empowering, hilarious, satirical and personal submissions and for all your support in the last years. We proudly present a shortlist: the 15 best read submissions! Enjoy!
