A time to raise awareness and take action on the urgent issue of period poverty affecting many in our community

Created by the Alliance for Period Supplies, Period Poverty Awareness Week aims to draw attention to the negative impacts of period poverty and promote menstrual equity. We invite everyone to join the movement—start conversations about period poverty, host virtual product drives, donate to the Alliance or local programs, or find other ways to make a difference from right at home.

Since 2018, the Alliance for Period Supplies has led this annual campaign to raise awareness and support community-based initiatives that provide free period products. They also advocate for legislation to address menstrual equity.
