Menstrual Health
Menstrual health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease, in relation to the menstrual cycle.
Period Equity Project
The Period Equity Project provides menstrual education to reduce stigma, empower menstruators and menstrual allies, and enhance overall well-being. We hope you will join us in transforming the culture around menstruation in the USF community and beyond.
Fall 2025 Workshop in UC 503 from 12:00 – 12:30pm:
September 11 | From Period Poverty to Sustainable Solutions
Entrepreneur Pooja Patel, co-founder of Equipad, shares her journey of addressing period poverty and designing for sustainability. Learn how she’s working towards bringing accessible and sustainable menstrual care to public restrooms and why solving big challenges means looking at the entire system.
Participants will be able to enjoy complimentary refreshments and take home their choice of menstrual products including tampons, pads, and period underwear. Menstrual cups also available upon request.
