About this Event

Making Space for Periods


Your period shouldn't stop you from thriving at work, accessing healthcare, or using a public restroom with dignity.

Yet for millions, period poverty makes exactly that impossible. Join us on May 25th for an engaging panel discussion and networking opportunity in Toronto. We're bringing together changemakers to answer the question: What does a truly period-friendly world look like, and how do we build it?

Our panelists will discuss:

  • What period poverty actually looks like in their communities
  • How workplace policies, cultural attitudes, and public infrastructure can either help or hurt
  • What government and institutions need to do differently
  • What you can do starting this week


Whether you're an advocate, educator, student, or simply passionate about menstrual equity, this is a fantastic opportunity to connect with community leaders, ask questions, and connect with others committed to this important cause.

Come ready to listen, learn, network, and leave inspired to make a difference.


EVENT SCHEDULE:

  • 5:30 pm – Doors Open
  • 6:00 pm – Panel Discussion Begins
  • 7:00 pm – Mingle & Networking


Our wonderful panelists will share their insights and expertise, followed by an interactive networking session where you can connect with fellow attendees, panelists, and representatives of various community organizations in Toronto.

VENUE: The Grosvenor Room, YMCA of Greater Toronto, Central YMCA, 20 Grosvenor Street, Toronto, Ontario, M4Y 2V5


WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This event is ideal for those interested in menstrual equity and

community advocacy.


RSVP REQUIRED: This is a free event; however, due to limited seating, an RSVP is required for attendance. Register through Eventbrite to secure your spot.
