Our vision

Menstruation marginalizes girls and deprives them their right to go to school. This is just not ok.

Imagine that a simple menstrual protection can be the difference between completing your schooling or in the worst case being forced to finish it. How come that the blood that is the prerequisite for childbirth can be filled with so much shame and taboo? To menstruate is not a choice but an innate function. No one should be discriminated against and deprived of their rights because of this.

Flow Girl want to be part of the change that is currently taking place in various ways in Kenya and in many other developing countries around the world.

Our goals

  • Everyone with a uterus should be able to go to school when they are menstruating

  • Children and youths should be educated on how their bodies work

  • We want to contribute to a society free from menstruation taboo

  • Boys should be included in education about puberty and menstruation

  • We want to be involved to ensure that this becomes a reality by supporting existing grassroots organizations in Kenya that work with these issues

  • We want to increase knowledge about this issue in Sweden so that more people get a chance to engage and influence this important work
