About Us
​​Our objectives include enhancing available resources and education related to menstrual health for all menstruators regardless of gender identity. We explore how social attitudes and cultural teachings shape the way menstruation is perceived and experienced, with the goal of creating more supportive and informed environments for menstruators. We also aim to deepen understanding of how menstruation affects the body, mind, and daily life!
​
In addition to education and research, we are committed to addressing the impact of socio-economic factors on menstrual health. This includes engaging with grassroots organizations that provide sustainable period care, and working to provide these products to traditionally underserved communities. Our approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, guided by the principles of the Seven Sacred Teachings, and grounded in both contemporary knowledge and traditional cultural wisdom. By bridging science with cultural teachings, we aim to honor the diverse experiences of menstruators and promote a holistic understanding of menstrual health.
​
Through a variety of campaigns, research initiatives, and community collaborations, Flowing for Change seeks to dismantle stigma, empower individuals, and support systemic change. Our vision is to cultivate a society where menstrual health is respected, supported, and integrated into broader conversations about health equity, cultural identity, and social justice.
Flowing for Change is a grassroots organization dedicated to raising awareness and advocating for social welfare and civic improvement, with a particular focus on menstrual health advocacy, poverty awareness, and cultural revitalization.

Origin of Our Name
In 2024, we adopted the name "Flowing for Change," marking our transition from a social media campaign to a grassroots organization.
​
This name was chosen to symbolize our movement toward change, with the flow of blood during the menstrual cycle representing a process of renewal and transformation.
Mission and Values
We operate with the belief that access to education and comprehensive care is a fundamental human right, and are committed to challenging stigma and fostering informed conversations that position menstruation as a natural, non-taboo topic. Our work centers on promoting open dialogue, inclusivity, and education around menstruation, while addressing the broader social and systemic issues that impact menstrual health and well-being.
