Mapping menstrual equity in Canada, a shared vision: Qualitative research

The following report, prepared for Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE), presents findings from exploratory research based on qualitative interviews with 31 menstrual equity advocates in Canada. This report is one of three submitted to WAGE: Literature review, Qualitative research and High-level environmental scan. The report begins with providing a brief context related to menstrual equity advocacy and advocates in Canada. It then turns to an overview of the methodology, including the study design, participant recruitment, study tools (e.g. survey, interview guide) and analysis. A detailed overview of the study population is provided. Results are presented by themes: the current landscape of menstrual inequity and distribution, education, advocacy, and research. Results are presented in a largely descriptive fashion with some preliminary links to existing literature. We conclude with a discussion of the strengths and limitations of the present study.
