Values

Dignity

We believe that menstruation should be understood and respected.

Positivity

We are committed to taking positive action to end the discriminatory stigma associated with menstruation.

Access

We believe that the availability of the full variety of period products to all people who menstruate is a fundamental right.

We respectfully acknowledge the land we live and work on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinabewaki, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Mississauga, and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
