Period poverty affects thousands of menstruators every single day. In Canada, this period inequity becomes exasperated in remote northern communities.

Moon Time Sisters is a volunteer-led organization supporting Northern Canadian menstruators in remote Indigenous communities by collecting and shipping menstrual products to remote communities across the country where access is limited and costs are prohibitive. Moon Time Sisters provides menstrual products to these communities completely free-of-cost.

Since its humble beginnings in 2017, Moon Time Sisters has grown to include 4 chapters – in Saskatchewan, Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia – has partnered with over 65 northern Indigenous Communities across the country, and has shipped over 2 million period products to high schools, elementary schools, midwifery organizations, health care centres, Friendship Centres, shelters, food banks and community programs in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nunavut, Newfoundland and Labrador, and North West Territories. 

Moon Time Sisters is the only Indigenous-led period equity group in Canada.
