Join the National Dominican Women’s Caucus (NDWC) at Alianza Dominicana Cultural Center for an empowering, bilingual community conversation on menstrual equity, health justice, and access to safe, affordable, toxic-free feminine care products.

We’ll explore how toxic chemicals in menstrual products disproportionately impact women of color, the barriers to accessing safe alternatives, and the actions we can take together to create change.

Every woman deserves menstrual care products that support her health, not harm it. Let’s come together to break down barriers and promote safer, healthier options for all.

Analizaremos cómo los productos menstruales con químicos dañinos afectan de manera desproporcionada a las mujeres de color, las barreras para acceder a alternativas seguras y las acciones que podemos tomar juntas para generar un cambio.
