Empowering Menstruators Together: The Period Purse's Partnership with Michael Hill

The Period Purse is excited to announce our partnership with the Michael Hill Foundation. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to end period poverty and support menstruators in need.

Michael Hill is a global jewellery brand known for beautiful, timeless, and high-quality jewelry. Their dedication to craftsmanship and quality is evident in every piece they create. With a focus on responsibility and authenticity, Michael Hill continues to deliver diverse collections that customers cherish. 

Through this partnership, a portion of Michael Hill's sales on their Stud Earrings with 6mm Button Cultured Freshwater Pearls in Sterling Silver and Diamond Serendipity Single Stone Necklace in Sterling Silver will go towards their "Empower Women" program. This program aims to support over 100,000  women and girls around the world by 2030. This initiative aligns perfectly with The Period Purse's mission to provide menstrual products and education to those in need. Together, we are working towards a world where no one has to face the challenges of period poverty.

On Friday, July 26th, the Michael Hill team joined The Period Purse at our storage unit in Etobicoke. The day began with a period-positive presentation by our Menstruation Nation team, educating the Michael Hill team on how they can become leaders in menstrual equity. Following the presentation, they assisted us in assembling over 700 period packs for menstruators in need. Each period pack contains pads, tampons, liners, and other essential items to support a menstruator throughout their entire period.

Period poverty is an issue that affects about 25% of all menstruators, leading to missed school days, work absenteeism, and health complications. The Period Purse strives to break this cycle by distributing free period products and advocating for menstrual health education across Canada. The support from the Michael Hill Foundation will enable us to reach more people and amplify our impact!

Thank you, Michael Hill Foundation, for your generosity and belief in our mission. Together, we are empowering menstruators and creating a brighter future for all.
