About Us
Flowing for Change is a grassroots menstrual advocacy organization, dedicated to raising awareness about period poverty, and menstrual health. We work to remove shame, and stigma around periods by creating spaces to share, bridge the education gap, and revitalize cultural teachings around Moon Time.
What We Do
Our goal is to improve menstrual health education and resources for all menstruators, regardless of gender identity. We examine how social attitudes and cultural teachings shape experiences of menstruation, aiming to create more supportive and informed environments. We also work to deepen understanding of how menstruation affects daily life, the body, and mental health.
We work to remove socio-economic barriers by partnering with grassroots organizations to provide sustainable period care to underserved communities. Our person-centered, trauma-informed approach is guided by the Seven Sacred Teachings and combines contemporary knowledge with traditional wisdom to honour diverse experiences.

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
Our vision is to influence a society where menstrual health is respected, supported, and integrated into broader conversations about health equity, cultural identity, and social justice. Our work centres on promoting open dialogue, inclusivity, and education around menstruation, while addressing the broader social and systemic issues that impact menstrual health and well-being.
