On Friday, IWSO was proud to recognize the Ontario Trillium Foundation for its generous $15,000 Grant in support of our new Menstrual Equity Program.

This important investment will help reduce stigma, dispel myths surrounding menstruation, and increase awareness about menstrual health and hygiene through engaging workshops, seminars, community outreach, and presentations.

The event was a tremendous success, and the enthusiasm and support from everyone in attendance made the celebration even more meaningful. Together, we are helping to create informed, empowered, and healthier communities for immigrant and racialized women and girls.
