Learn & Empower
We believe comprehensive menstrual education is key to promoting health, dignity, and equity. We are committed to destigmatizing menstruation and raising awareness about period poverty through education. Through workshops, online resources, and community outreach, we empower individuals with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to manage their menstrual care and advocate for menstrual equity in their communities.
Menstrual Health Education
We offer in-person and virtual workshops for people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds in schools, universities, and community spaces across the greater Montreal area. Our workshops provide an open and inclusive space to learn about menstrual health, from understanding the basics of the menstrual cycle to exploring period poverty and menstrual stigma.

Focusing on menstrual pain, disorders and diseases, this workshop aims to provide a safe space for discussion and information for participants.

Together, we’ll explore different organizational strategies for effective distribution, while advocating for the inclusion of these products in your organizations’ budgets.
“It was an enriching activity both for the youth and for the staff. We are now better equipped to discuss menstruation with the youth accessing our programs and even our friends in our personal lives.”
