Dezeen School Shows: we've selected seven student design projects that have been featured on Dezeen School Shows that explore women's health and experiences.
These undergraduate and postgraduate projects range from interior to product design, spanning various themes and concepts, all of which address issues faced by women.
Included in this roundup is a health management app designed to aid women with iron deficiencies, a glassware collection which reflects women's experiences and a shelter for women who are victims of domestic violence.
The selection of projects comes from students enrolled on industrial design, object design and ceramics courses, from international and UK-based institutions including the University for the Creative Arts, Lucerne School of Art and Design and Florence Institute of Design International.
Maheena by Rikke Geelen
Product design student Rikke Geelen created Maheena, a learning tool used to educate schoolchildren about menstrual hygiene in rural India.
The tool is designed to present a demonstration through three stages that visualise the menstrual process, concluding with an example of how to use a sanitary pad.
"Teenagers in rural India have no access to the products or the facilities and knowledge they need to take care of themselves while menstruating," said Geelen.
"This is due to the lack of awareness and education about the menstrual cycle and the proper methods to manage this."
