You Can Help
By participating in our virtual donation drive, you can help bring menstrual products to menstruators in California’s Central Valley who need them the most.
Menstrual stigma affects everyone.
Menstruation is a natural and healthy bodily experience that is stigmatized within our society. Our culture has branded menstruation as a “taboo topic” which not only makes it difficult to discuss outside of confined spaces, such as with a doctor or counselor, but hinders those in need of support and resources from getting the materials and education they need. Everyone deserves a dignified period. In order to achieve that, we need to end the stigma around menstruation.
2021 Donation Drive
Dr. Kartch’s Fall 2021 Gender Communication class is co-sponsoring a virtual donation drive in order to raise monetary donations that our community partner, Better Period, will distribute to a number of their local partners, including the Fresno State Student Cupboard and the Marjaree Mason Center, that serve populations that experience period poverty.
Together, we can end period poverty in the Central Valley.
