Did someone say Back to School?! 📚

Our education program gives young people a clear, grounded understanding of menstrual health through open discussion and hands-on learning.

Each session encourages exploration of menstrual health, builds comfort with periods, and helps young people develop practical knowledge they can use in daily life.

With the new school year officially here, now's as good a time as any to schedule your FREE workshop!

Menstrual health starts with menstrual education – and you don’t have to tackle it alone.

Top tip: One of the most impactful things a school can do for menstrual equity is provide free period products to students.

If that's not happening at your school (yet), let us know how we can help you make it happen by reaching out to [email protected].

And, if you bring us into your class for a period education workshop, we'll give a small bundle of free period products to every participant!

We're here to support a period-friendly school year with FREE resources & workshops, all year-round.

Wishing you all a happy Back to School! 📚♥️

⁠
You don’t have to be an expert to start the conversation at home. Check out our library of free resources at theperiodpurse.com 📚

A reminder that period stigma has real life consequences! ⁠
⁠
Having the language to talk about periods comfortably and positively isn't about "political correctness" – it's a matter of gender justice, public health, and human rights.⁠
⁠
The only way to raise a generation free from stigma is through early, inclusive, compassionate education. ⁠
⁠
We've got a library full of learning resources and a roster of trained facilitators ready to help you start the conversation at home or at your school – and all of it is FREE! ⁠
⁠
Join us in ending period poverty this back to school season at theperiodpurse.com 🩸📚❤️

If you've never noticed or heard of it, period stigma may seem abstract – but it's as real and tangible as its consequences.⁠
⁠
Period poverty and life-interrupting menstrual pain are matters of gender justice, health equity, and human rights. ⁠
⁠
So long as periods are still talked about like a taboo or a source of embarrassment, people will continue to suffer in silence.⁠
⁠
It's simple: periods are a part of life. Menstrual health should be too. ⁠
⁠
Education is the antidote to stigma. Early, factual, and period-positive conversations can and will change the way future generations approach this subject. ⁠
⁠
With back to school fast approaching, now's the perfect time to start that conversation at home or in your classroom with help from The Period Purse!⁠
⁠
Consult our resource library or bring in a trained facilitator – all for FREE – at theperiodpurse.com 🩸❤️📚

Periods are a part of life. Struggling in pain or shame because of them shouldn't be. ⁠
⁠
Until we bring up a generation that understands this, period stigma will persist and keep people struggling silently. ⁠
⁠
Dismantling period stigma means teaching young people about menstruation in a positive, factual, and inclusive way. And yes, young boys should absolutely be included in that conversation! ⁠
⁠
If you have young people in your life – at home or at school – you're uniquely positioned to help us end period stigma. ⁠
⁠
You don't have to be an expert to do it. That's what The Period Purse is for! ⁠
⁠
Our digital learning resources + menstrual education programs are all 100% free and here for you anytime at theperiodpurse.com 🩸❤️📚⁠

THIS is why proactive, period-positive education belongs in every home and classroom. ⁠
⁠
Half of the world menstruates, but far fewer feel comfortable talking about menstruation. ⁠
⁠
When periods are treated like a taboo, issues like period poverty get swept under the rug. ⁠
⁠
Nobody wants to talk about it, so nothing changes. ⁠
⁠
We'll never stop disrupting that silence and demanding better for gender justice, public health, and human rights – at home and abroad. ⁠
⁠
If this cause resonates with you, take two minutes to support it by sending a letter to your MP at menstrualequity.ca 🩸❤️⁠
