Founder of Menstrual Cycle Support, Kate Shepherd Cohen, says:
"We have chosen to work with Grace & Green because of their commitment to creating the most sustainable products possible, reducing plastic period product waste – which pollutes rivers and oceans – and enabling an easy-to-access to high-quality and a full range of period products through supplying corporations and institutions with products, which become freely available to all employees.
We share the values of Grace & Green and feel that through working with them, Menstrual Cycle Support actively contributes to ending period poverty, addressing period product pollution and increasing period dignity."
CEO of Grace & Green, Frances Luscraft, says:
"It's a huge privilege to support the Menstrual Cycle Support Course. At Grace & Green we believe that menstrual education is the learning to empower period management as a normal, natural process - devoid of all social judgments and taboo (especially around roles and bodies)."
"Through Kate's work in creating the Menstrual Cycle Support Course, this helps lead the way in improving menstrual literacy across society. Having menstrual literacy is more than empowering - it means that you can equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to understand the anatomical and biological aspects of menstruation, as well as how to properly care for yourself when menstruating and beyond. This is not only welcome, it is necessary."
