Menstrual Hygiene Day has been gaining recognition since its inception in 2014. Menstruation is breaking the taboos and stigmas of generations of repression and silence. There is a movement happening with free menstrual products being provided for the homeless, low income, and those in prisons, schools and workplaces. Products are the tip of the iceberg and I am excited for where this has the potential to go. I am excited to educate and share with the public some amazing menstrual initiatives within the Guelph Community and beyond. I look forward to bringing FemCare's Free The Flow campaign to Guelph to lobby the municipal government to provide free menstrual products for those in need.
