How much does a period REALLY cost? This month, we’re raising awareness about the true cost of periods & why access to menstrual products, safe facilities & support matters. Help end period poverty. Visit care.ca/period to learn more & take action.

"When women are supported with the right resources, training and networks, they become trusted agents of change. When women thrive, health outcomes improve, and the benefits extend far beyond individual families to entire regions.” Women health entrepreneurs in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), are bringing health care closer to families and improving access to health information in many communities.

For too many people, period products carry hidden costs that don’t appear on the label—like falling behind at work just to get through the month. A period shouldn't cost this much. Help end period poverty: care.ca/period

When all of us—not just women, girls, and people who get their period—can talk openly about periods and ensure everyone has what they need to manage them, the impact goes far beyond one person. Take action at care.ca/period/

While #PeriodPoverty is a big issue, it’s also simple to solve. The more we talk about it, the more people know about it. The more we know about it, the more of us will take action to end period poverty. #PackagingTheCost strategyonline.ca/2026/05/07/car…
