The Advocacy Volunteer Handbook is designed to help you advance menstrual equity in your home community. We believe that anyone can be an advocate for menstrual health, and this handbook provides information and guidance so that you can feel knowledgeable, equipped, and connected.
Inside you’ll find:
–> An orientation to the menstrual health field
–> Four action pathways to help you get started on your advocacy journey
–> Resources, tips, and case studies you won’t find anywhere else!
–> Practical guidance on next steps and how to get support
As you dive into the advocacy handbook, you will learn the ropes of menstrual health (MH) 101, how to map your MH Landscape, and decide the action pathway that’s best for you.
You may feel as though you are just one person, but it’s hard to capture the ripple effect of your actions. One thing is certain — you are supporting women and girls to achieve their goals, free from menstrual stigma, barriers, and limitations.

Important Note:
The majority of volunteers accessing this handbook live in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, or the United States. While much of the handbook guidance is applicable across many contexts, each country has a different government, social norms, and culture. As a volunteer, you can decide which elements of the handbook are relevant to your community.
