We aim to normalize menstruation while promoting the awareness of period poverty by advocating for the accessibility of and providing period products.

“Period poverty is a pressing issue throughout Ottawa and around the world,” says MacLean from @menstrottawa. “Access to period products is a human right. Menstro normalizes periods while providing and advocating for the accessibility period products.”

When a menstruator has access to period products they are able to attend school and extracurriculars, while feeling empowered on their period!

Menstro has been spearhead by Izzy and Aislynn. They both feel incredibly passionately about ending period poverty and lifting the stigma of mensuration! They approach the issue from different angles but they make a great team. #menstro #periodpoverty #mensurationmatters #periods

Access to period products is essential, our first step has been working with city councillors here in Ottawa to advocate to the city to provide period products in all their bathrooms. #periodpoverty… https://t.co/yzM3xELEvq
