Welcome to Wheels of Change (WoC), we are a youth-led organization focusing to end the stigmas and taboos on menstruation, spread awareness on menstruation, period poverty, period positivity, menstrual disorders, period taxes, sustainability, and more. Join us on this journey of bringing about small yet impactful changes as we go on.

During this Pandemic, the world has stopped but Periods hasn't. Not something to be self-conscious or embarrassed by or to be scared of. The stigma and taboo however still remain, girls can not talk about it as freely as they should.

Come and break this taboo, show us your support!

Bleed Free. Bleed Proud. Period.

We, at Wheels of Change(WoC) value your support, to make a change. WoC Resources is one such initiative to serve as a link between numerous organizations, projects, NGOs, and online community service groups and you. These organizations, projects, and NGOs aim to de-stigmatize menstruation and work towards making periods a normalized topic on grassroot levels.

This women's day let's celebrate women. Women that feel confident with makeup and women who embrace their scars. Women who represent beauty whether they dress modern or ethnic. Women who're like the lamp that brightens others' lives. Women who are fierce. Women who break every barrier to rise. Women that are like roses on the bed of thorns.

Every day, some 800 million women and girls menstruate, and still, it's considered taboo in many parts of the world. We still can not say the word "periods" in public, as it's considered something dirty. We still change the channel whenever a pads advertisement pops up. Here are some facts about menstruation that every homo sapiens should know!

Were periods had always been an embarrassing issue from the very beginning altogether for menstruators or if it has been something that the society perceives it to be (and that too since age unknown)- something unhygienic, inappropriate to talk about, embarrassing, or something that is impure to be very exact.

Periods: your body's monthly visitor. But no matter how many times that visitor stops by, menstruation remains a taboo topic around the world.

People who menstruate have long been taught to be ashamed of or to keep silent about their periods for many reasons. At a pool party, someone might avoid swimming because they “feel sick,” or they need to go to the bathroom to “reapply their makeup.” These reasons pop up to avoid saying the truth: “I’m on my period.”

Women and young girls who menstruate are ostracized from basic activities, like eating certain foods, or socializing, all over the world. The cultural shame attached to menstruation and a shortage of resources stop women from going to school and working every day.

It’s 2021, and the planet has been suffering for a long time. As fires rage and hurricanes devastate whole islands, it's time for each of us to take action. If you menstruate, you can start by using sustainable period products.
