Female Forward Together: End Period Stigma
Our goal with this program is to elevate the conversation around women's health and overcome the period stigma that too many women experience.

Programs
In partnership with Myovant Sciences, we want to join forces with women to share and record their unfiltered stories about their periods. Our goal is to elevate the conversation around women's health and overcome the stigma that too many women experience.
The best way to elevate each other is by listening and sharing real stories. Selected women will get the chance to participate in a storytelling workshop with The Moth and have their stories captured on video and shared on Female Forward Together's website.
If you're interested in joining us to end period stigma and attending the storytelling workshop, please apply here.
