Full Summary: Come learn how to have more sustainable periods, stop period's taboo, and strengthen each other

Let's get together and talk about menstruation. In this workshop, we’ll discuss topics around menstruation’s “taboo,” and its impact on personal and environmental health. We will have guest speakers, activities and refreshments.

Come learn how to practice personal sustainability through the use of reusable menstrual products. We will be providing free Diva Cups to all Georgia Tech menstruating students who attend (while supplies last). Don't know what a DivaCup is? Get some insight before getting all the details: http://divacup.com/products/the-divacup/

There will also be a Peach Coven Collection Box! Bring your current single-use menstrual products to donate to the menstruating homeless people of Atlanta. Learn more: http://peachcoven.org/about/

This is a student-led initiative sponsored by Diva International®, Georgia Tech’s Women’s Resource Center and the Office of Campus Sustainability to push the idea that everyone deserves equitable, green and accessible hygiene.
