For nearly a decade, Pledge Your Period has mobilized people around the world to challenge menstrual stigma and advocate for menstrual equity.

This year, our focus is simple: expand the reach.

We’re calling on individuals, schools, workplaces, and communities everywhere to take the pledge, start conversations, and bring menstrual equity into the spotlight.

Take the pledge. Share it with your network using #Pledgeyourperiod. Help the movement reach even further than the last.

TAKING THE PLEDGE

Taking the pledge is as easy as sharing a personal post on social media to transform the narrative on menstruation. You do not have to menstruate in order to participate! After all, the more we ALL talk about periods, the more we can normalize it.

WHAT IS PLEDGE YOUR PERIOD?

Pledge Your Period is an awareness campaign created by The Desai Foundation to strip away the shame around periods, helping to end the cycle of period stigma and poverty!

Our primary goal is to elevate the health and livelihood of the greater community of rural India, targeting women and children in particular to ensure sustainable growth. We believe everyone should have access to the three things that allow for them to dream beyond your circumstances - good health, the ability to work, and the fulfillment of an education.
