Pandemic Periods

The Pandemic Periods Collective www.pandemicperiods.com Pandemic Periods is a group of passionate menstrual health activists, media specialists, frontline health workers, and researchers from every corner of the world. We have come together to fight for the recognition and acknowledgement of those that are experiencing challenges with their menstrual health. Our collective includes individuals from different cultural backgrounds, contexts, countries, and creeds, all with the same mission, to promote menstrual health through cross-sector collaboration, creative communications, and action-orientated advocacy. No person that menstruates should experience the stigma or shame associated with a lack of access to period products. Periods do not stop for pandemics; we have a social responsibility to ensure that they do not hamper the efforts of health workers, caregivers, or anyone experiencing physical, psychological, or emotional challenges across the life course.
