Love Your Menses seeks to create a world where menstruation is
celebrated, understood, and embraced without shame or stigma. Embarking on a journey of empowerment and education, we are redefining the conversation about periods, striving for a world
where every individual can embrace their menstrual experience with pride and confidence.
Through these dynamic workshops conducted in schools, community centers, and various public forums, we
prioritize educating individuals of all ages about menstrual health, hygiene, and emotional well-being.
Understanding and Embracing Menstrual Health workshops are designed to dispel myths, provide evidence-based information, and foster an
