The single most important thing we all can do to eliminate PERIOD POVERTY and create a society that values MENSTRUAL EQUITY is to talk about periods!
GHGP’s workshops offer a safe, relaxed atmosphere for participants to learn and share, which helps to destigmatize and normalize periods and builds confidence in those who take part.
Our focus is on normalizing periods and creating a shared experience so participants understand there is so much support all around them.
In Our Workshops:
Every student creates a personalized emergency kit
We use trivia, demonstrations, and conversation starters focused on removing fear and stigma around menstruation.
Participants learn how to use period trackers.
Students of all genders are welcome.
Small groups of up to 25 participants per workshop
Some scholarships available
These workshops are provided in 2025-2026 in part by a generous grant from
Did you know:
A menstrual cup can cost as little as $20, and some can be reused for ten years?
Participants:
Learn how to insert, remove, and sterilize their menstrual cup
Get a menstrual cup as part of the program
Receive 90 days of support in adopting the practice of using a cup through our text-based interactions.
We are living in a time of great opportunity to change our own futures. No longer will we be told we should not talk about periods in certain places. Menstruation is a sign of a healthy body, and without knowledge about how our systems work, we cannot safely care for ourselves or others.
