Last month, Unicode approved<\/span><\/a> more than 150 new emoji, giving representation to bald people, redheads, and badgers. Notably absent from the burgeoning emojicabulary is menstruation, that monthly medical occurrence impacting roughly half the world\u2019s population. Sure, there are approximations\u2014a red circle or heart, a few demonic red faces\u2014but still no unequivocal symbol for menstruation or menstrual products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emoji shutout isn\u2019t the only way periods remain taboo, despite the well-reported rise in recent years of companies operating in the period space, such as Thinx underwear and tampon brand Lola. Meet three organizations in the WeWork community operating on the front lines\u2014lobbying to lawmakers on removing sales tax on pads and tampons; delivering reproductive education to Indian girls at risk of leaving school; and handing out menstrual products to homeless transgender men who get shut out of women\u2019s centers. They\u2019re not an emoji; they\u2019re a movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youth advocate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When Harvard College sophomore Nadya Okamoto isn\u2019t in class, she can be found at Cambridge, MA’s WeWork Mass Avenue<\/span><\/a>, leading a 150-chapter empire of period education and advocacy initiatives called Period, the Menstrual Movement. She founded the youth-focused organization with her friend Vincent Forand as a junior in high school. Period concentrates its efforts into three areas: providing menstrual products to homeless people, educating students on different menstrual products, and advocating at the local, state, and federal levels for increased access to menstrual products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The straightforward name and red dot-themed branding all speak to a frankness Okamoto embraces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe very much acknowledge that we\u2019re part of a larger movement,\u201d she says. \u201cThat really came to light in 2015, the year NPR<\/em> called the \u2018year of the period<\/span><\/a>.\u2019 We grew fast because we started right around then.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea to start the organization came from a personal struggle for Okamoto as a teen in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI started this when I experienced homelessness and had just come out of an abusive relationship,\u201d she says. Seeing homeless women struggle to get the menstrual products they needed spurred her to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinding my voice in advocacy was very healing for me and is still very healing,\u201d she says. \u201cIt helped me get out of that situation, to throw my voice and energy into something else. It\u2019s so rewarding to help so many homeless women now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okamoto\u2019s own journey from homeless to Harvard has given her a platform to inspire, and she\u2019s making the most of it. Last November, Period hosted its inaugural Period Con in New York City, bringing together outspoken voices on periods and other women\u2019s health issues, including U.S. Congresswoman Grace Meng and YouTube star Ingrid Nilsen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re part of this global community,\u201d she says. \u201cMore than half of the population menstruates more than 40 years of their lives. Periods aren\u2019t an obstacle. This is about fundamental human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based in<\/strong>: WeWork Mass Avenue<\/span><\/a>, Cambridge, Massachusetts
What they do<\/strong>: Provide menstrual products to homeless people; educate students about different menstrual products through 150 chapters on high school and college campuses; advocate at the local, state, and federal levels for increased access to menstrual products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teens step up to teach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For India\u2019s 120 million girls, getting their period can mean the end of their education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo many girls stop going to school when they start menstruating,\u201d says Ricky Sharma, co-founder with Priya Shankar of Girls Health Champions. \u201cAlmost half will become mothers in their teens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharma and Shankar saw the educational blind spot that happens in reproductive health for girls in India due to cultural taboos and sensitivity. They wanted to try out a new idea\u2014peer to peer education\u2014to counteract the lack of information, or even more commonly, misinformation that would spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their program trains girls in 8th, 9th, and 10th grades to teach their peers about important health topics, including menstruation and reproductive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re equipping them with support and strategies so they can start navigating these challenges in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both with family ties to India, Sharma and Shankar first met in college and are now based in Boston and the Bay Area, respectively, at different universities. Sharma pivoted away from a career in investment banking and is pursuing his masters in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. Shakar is a physician doing a pediatric residency for underserved populations at the University of California, San Francisco. Both use their academic breaks to make trips to India, including in 2016 when they did their first pilot of the peer-to-peer model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were so nervous,\u201d Sharma says. \u201cWe needed the girls to buy in, to put their hands up and be willing [to lead the programs]. We thought, \u2018Would this be too challenging?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They wound up getting a good response, but what happened next is what convinced Sharma that the model had potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we were assigning girls to the curriculum they would teach, we had two girls come up to us and say they wanted to take menstruation and pregnancy\u2014the two hardest topics,\u201d he says. \u201cSeeing that bravery and fearlessness in our girls continues to inspire us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in operation for two years, Girls Health Champions is in 10 schools with 330 trained peer educators. Their data suggests that each champion sparks two dozen conversations outside of school\u2014with neighbors, siblings, girls out of school, parents\u2014about difficult topics that could improve the health of the girls and the women they\u2019ll become. But Sharma and Shankar haven\u2019t forgotten about the boys, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we continue our work, educating girls is only half the equation,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s only so much you can do in a vacuum. We\u2019re working toward developing a curriculum for the boys. Mid-2018 is the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Hello, I\u2019m menstruating\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the streets of Los Angeles, #HappyPeriod founder Chelsea Vonchaz Warner also had a realization that she needed to look beyond women and girls as she distributes to homeless people the period products they need to live healthy lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe whole narrative of being homeless is told like it\u2019s one experience,\u201d Warner says. \u201cBut that\u2019s not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While giving out pads and tampons one day, Warner approached a homeless person, then apologized when she saw she was speaking to a man. But the person, a trans man who was still menstruating, corrected her, saying, \u201cI\u2019m a female, yeah, I\u2019ll take some.\u201d He hadn\u2019t been welcomed in women\u2019s centers because of how he presented himself. \u201cThey won\u2019t give me what I need,\u201d he told her. They instead told him to go to the LGBT center, \u201cwhere they deal with folks like him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat made me mad,\u201d Warner says. \u201cAfter that, I decided to be inclusive. I dropped the whole \u2018women and girls\u2019 thing and just made it about periods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last year, #HappyPeriod has started delivering menstrual products to disaster areas, starting with those affected by Hurricane Harvey in Houston, Texas. Over two trips, she distributed 75,000 tampons donated by Cora<\/span><\/a> to two high schools, a FEMA event, two organizations, and one church. While there, though, she had an eye-opening experience about how to better serve in moments of need. She had seen plenty of donations but not enough hands and bodies to connect the needy with the goods. \u201cWe would definitely do it again, but we\u2019re about getting more people involved to execute on the distribution part,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"HappyPeriod

Warner started #HappyPeriod in 2015, first with outreach events where most of the volunteers were her friends. Now, she has chapters in 30 other cities. From day one, she made #HappyPeriod her full-time job. \u201cIt\u2019s my life\u2014it\u2019s my kid, boyfriend, and husband,\u201d she says. Before starting the nonprofit, Warner worked in costuming, pulling wardrobe for TV shows and movies for seven years. Making the leap to her own operation, \u201cI just applied all that I did for other people, making them look good, to myself.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warner still honors her fashion background, rocking her own \u201cHello, I\u2019m Menstruating\u201d T-shirts and selling them to support #HappyPeriod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When thinking about the increasing number of organizations also working in the period space, Warner says she\u2019s energized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are so many startups and new companies that are part of the narrative,\u201d she says. \u201cI call us the period posse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
