We envision a forever menstrual hub that allows University of Illinios Chicago (UIC) students to access free/affordable period products (especially eco-friendly) and gain stigma-free period knowledge. As we work to achieve UIC’s climate commitments on campus, we see UIC taking an active role in reaching menstrual health and equity in the Chicago Community.
