Sister projects
Other projects
Women and collectives caring for the cycle, the body and community. They inspire and nourish us. Here they are.
Why this corner
There are women who have spent years teaching others to know their period without shame, sewing cloth pads or adapting yoga to each phase of the cycle. These projects do it with care and with their feet on the ground. If one speaks to you, visit their website, support them or tell someone about them.
