Did you know that one in four people who menstruate struggle to afford or access period products?
Period Pin is making it easy for menstruators to find the free products they need. How exactly are we doing this? We have created a free online map (www.periodpin.ca) that allows menstruators to find period products near them!
We launched in the Waterloo region on May 28, 2023, which just happened to be Menstrual Health Day. Now we have mapped nearly 2,000 locations of free menstrual products across Canada.
We appreciate the support from local governments, libraries, universities and colleges, community-based organizations, and some private businesses – all committed to providing free menstrual products. And many others sharing the map with menstruators within their communities. ❣️
It's completely free for our partners to pin their locations on the Period Pin map, however, we do need financial support to keep working behind the scenes.
Help us continue to support menstruators across Canada:
-by buying us a coffee, or two, or ten 😉
-let us know of any locations in Canada that offer free menstrual products (we'll reach out to them for permission to add them to the map)
-connect us with other menstrual equity groups in Canada
Karen and Patrick, the co-founders of Period Pin, thank you in anticipation of your support for our efforts for menstrual equity in Canada. 🙏🏻
