How Do We Act for Menstrual Justice?

YesWeBleed is a non-centralised grassroots movement. Our work exists at the intersection of community building and advocacy, grounded in the lived realities of those who have, had, or will experience a menstrual cycle — and in the broader struggles for bodily autonomy, equity, and justice.

Community work

We create inclusive spaces for healing, learning, and collective care, empowering communities around menstrual health and justice.

Advocacy work

We advocate for menstrual justice through public outreach, resources, and community-led action to drive systemic change.

COMMUNITY WORK

Care

Knowledge

Intersections

Collective healing is one of our key goals. We create spaces that support the health journeys of anyone who has, had, or will experience a menstrual cycle. These groups have long been disregarded in healthcare systems and left isolated in their experiences of menstrual health.

We offer:

Art therapy and creative expression spaces, using artistic practices to process, heal, and speak out
Mental health-centered events, exploring topics like shame, burnout, trauma, and emotional resilience
Body movement and somatic practices, helping participants reconnect with their bodies in safe and affirming ways

Collective care and rest spaces, offering tools and time for reflection, community healing, and mutual support

Shaking systemic injustices starts with knowing: our bodies, our histories, and the systems that shape our lives. We believe knowledge should be community-owned and shared.

We organize:

Workshops on menstrual and hormonal health, rooted in culturally inclusive, body-literate, and community-centered frameworks
The Full Circle Program: a peer-led model where community members facilitate workshops to uplift one another — creating a ripple effect of empowerment and education

Menstrual justice is deeply connected to other struggles for justice — gender, racial, economic, environmental, and more.

We design:

Spaces to explore how menstrual justice intersects with other forms of oppression
Reading groups and social circles that bridge menstrual justice with broader movements like disability justice, trans liberation, anti-racism, climate justice, and reproductive rights

ADVOCACY WORK

Advocacy Materials

We don’t just speak out, we build tools that help others do the same. Our materials are designed to equip individuals and communities to take action and carry the message of menstrual justice into their own spaces.

We create:

Handbooks for action — practical guides to help participants organize, advocate, and educate in their communities
Handouts, zines, and a forthcoming book, making menstrual justice accessible, shareable, and rooted in lived experience
Blog articles, where we amplify voices, unpack systemic issues, and offer reflections on current struggles and strategies
Social media campaigns, using visual storytelling and collective messaging to challenge stigma, share knowledge, and spark change

We also hold space for community members to become menstrual justice activists in their own right, offering tools, platforms, and support to amplify grassroots leadership.

Public Outreach

Talks, panels, community forums, and conferences to make menstrual justice visible and urgent
Collaboration with other movements, groups, and networks to amplify our message
