Flowing for Change is a grassroots organization dedicated to raising awareness and advocating for social welfare and civic improvement, with a particular focus on menstrual health advocacy, poverty awareness, and cultural revitalization.
Our objectives include enhancing available resources and education related to menstrual health for all menstruators regardless of gender identity. We explore how social attitudes and cultural teachings shape the way menstruation is perceived and experienced, with the goal of creating more supportive and informed environments for menstruators. We also aim to deepen understanding of how menstruation affects the body, mind, and daily life!
In addition to education and research, we are committed to addressing the impact of socio-economic factors on menstrual health. This includes engaging with grassroots organizations that provide sustainable period care, and working to provide these products to traditionally underserved communities. Our approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, guided by the principles of the Seven Sacred Teachings, and grounded in both contemporary knowledge and traditional cultural wisdom. By bridging science with cultural teachings, we aim to honour the diverse experiences of menstruators and promote a holistic understanding of menstrual health.
Through a variety of social media campaigns, research initiatives, and community collaborations, Flowing for Change seeks to dismantle stigma, empower individuals, and support systemic change. Our vision is to cultivate a society where menstrual health is respected, supported, and integrated into broader conversations about health equity, cultural identity, and social justice.
I would love to work with you to customize a period kit for this project if this is an option!
