Aunt Flow believes in a multifaceted approach to achieving menstrual justice, including service, education, research, advocacy, and investment.

Organize menstrual product drives and fundraisers in your community to collect and donate pads and tampons to local shelters and food pantries.
Lead educational workshops in your community about menstruation, sustainable menstrual products, and destigmatizing menstruation.
Apply pressure to policymakers, decision-makers, and local leaders, advocating for policies that improve access to menstrual products and education.
Ask your school to include menstruation and menstrual health as part of the educational curriculum. In fact, 77% of students believe there needs to be more in-depth education about menstrual health.

Urge schools and businesses to invest in high-quality menstrual products free of cost for everyone.
