Welcome to a movement that sparks change, ignites hope, and shapes a better future. Welcome to a movement for change! The Red Dot Club provides a digital space for various stakeholders to engage resources and education on menstrual health and dignity, including adolescent girls who can champion advocacy for their rights. 

The Red Dot Club is a proud outcome of the Sang pour Sang initiative – a consortium-led initiative funded by the Agence Française de Développement’s Support Fund for Feminist Organizations to challenge systemic menstrual discrimination and promote menstrual dignity in nine countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. 

The project seeks to transform the structural drivers of menstrual discrimination, ensuring that women, girls, and other menstruating people have access to information, services, supplies, and infrastructure to menstruate with dignity, free from shame, taboos, and other forms of discrimination. Together we are the force that challenge the status quo, create lasting impact and turn vision into action.
