Our 2019 Oscar-winning Netflix documentary, Period. End of Sentence., directed global attention to period poverty and sparked a worldwide conversation about menstrual stigma. As a global nonprofit, we partner with community-based organizations to co-create menstrual health programs focused on expanding product access, reducing stigma, and advancing equity for all.
Our programs have reached communities in 50 U.S. states and 7 countries. Together, we’re ending menstrual stigma. Period.
Our Gala is co-chaired by Anissa Siegel & Candace Clark Trinchieri
