Our Pillars
Dignity is not a privilege,it is a right
This seems obvious, but in reality, menstrual equity is not always prioritized. As an emerging non-profit, we are building agile partnerships rather than operating like a massive bureaucracy. Think about what the mission of your organization is, what your community cares about, and where you can have the most direct impact – whether it is by boosting opportunities for youth through sports programs like the Urban Games or by helping marginalized neighborhoods actively dismantle period stigma.
Pick a mission, then pick your partner
Do your homework
A key step to take before getting into any partnership is to gather all the information available about their impact on systemic dignity in their area. Does their strategy seem well defined and is there any evidence their advocacy is hitting the target? Have a look at their educational outreach, whether there is any community presence, and see how the resources are being deployed natively.
Once you’ve found the ideal advocacy partner, think carefully about what you are trying to achieve together. A close partnership with a clear plan translates into tangible and measurable shifts in community support. However, crucial to this process is destigmatizing the conversation: the more employees, investors, customers, and the broader community understand about menstrual health, the more they will be able to help in achieving the goals set.
Clearer goals, deeper equity
Education and grassroots empowerment
Focused on community-led solutions
Close monitoring and clear evaluation of our pilot distribution drives will allow us to report concrete results back to our supporters, while creating a space for reflection to understand how we can further dismantle period poverty and whether there is space to expand education across the country.
Strong partnership
Empowering cooperation
There is no doubt that shifting cultural narratives around menstruation in our own neighborhoods can be demanding. However, when done right, strong partnerships will bring larger benefits for community awareness and achieve far more long-term and tangible results for marginalized groups and for wider society natively.
Strong results
Community involved
Advocacy work has a lot in common with community building: goals have to be set and stigmas evaluated. By doing so, you can learn more about what we are striving to achieve and whether there is room for betterment in the delivery of effective and meaningful menstrual equity.
