Periods shouldn't come at a cost.⁠
The Menstrual Equity Fund is helping to address period poverty in Canada — but funding is set to expire in early 2027.⁠
That's why TPP is calling on the federal government to renew and expand the Fund.⁠
⁠
Here's how you can help: write your MP and ask them to support sustainable funding for menstrual equity.⁠

TPP was delighted to join Minister Rechie Valdez and Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) in Brampton, Ont. this morning for a funding announcement in support of nearly 400 organizations working to advance gender equality across Canada.

Thank you to Women and Gender Equality Canada for investing in community organizations that are doing critical work to create safer, more equitable communities. This funding will help The Period Purse to continue advancing menstrual equity across Canada.

TPP était ravie de se joindre à la ministre Rechie Valdez et à Femmes et Égalité des genres Canada (FEGC) à Brampton, en Ontario, ce matin pour une annonce de financement à l’appui de 400 organisations œuvrant à faire progresser l'égalité des genres à travers le Canada.

Merci à Femmes et Égalité des genres Canada d'investir dans des organisations communautaires qui font un travail essentiel pour créer des communautés plus sûres et plus équitables. Ce financement aidera The Period Purse à continuer de faire progresser l'équité menstruelle à travers le Canada.
