From the Campaign trail to the quiet in-between moments. A look back at a year that’s shaped us. As we step into our 85th year, we’re carrying it all forward ❤️.
🌸 It’s time to break the stigma.
 
Menstrual health matters and access to products and education should never be a barrier.

Through the Period Promise campaign, United Way Peterborough & District is working to address period poverty in our communities. 

On Menstrual Hygiene Day, we call for dignity, access, and inclusion for all.
