"Like most of my fellow board members, before discovering Days for Girls I had never considered that women in other parts of the world don’t have access to quality menstrual products, largely due to the huge stigma and shame attached to menstruation. Since joining, I have been honored to do my little part in eliminating menstrual equity through service and education."

"Being part of DfGÂ has been a big part of my college experience.

"I joined DfG in my freshman year after meeting Zoe and Stephanie at the EAF. I was inspired to join their cause for menstrual equity & ways to destigmatize menstruation. I particularly admire how our chapter here at UCLA are working to degender and decolonize menstruation. I love the family and community we’ve built at our club and can’t wait to continue building these relationships with everyone!"

I am so glad to be part of this club with great people who push for changing menstrual stigma and accessibility of menstrual products. <33"

"Days for Girls has always been a club that I was interested in and passionate about ever since I saw it at the activities fair.
