Solution
Every month in France, 4 million people are unable to afford period protection and live with dignity through their periods. 80% of young girls are stressed about having their period at school.
Menstruation and its consequences on the lives and health of millions of people remain a collective unthought, and this can no longer continue.
Règles Élémentaires collects and redistributes period protection to a network of over 1,000 partner associations throughout France. But to go further and fight the taboo, the association has developed concrete awareness-raising actions with interventions in schools (from CM1 to university) to provide information where it is still lacking and needed.
The association works on a daily basis to change the laws through the organization of events, major awareness campaigns and political mobilizations so that rules are never again a brake.

Why we love it?
At a time when menstruation is still a taboo subject and 4 million women in France are unable to afford sanitary protection, Règles Élémentaires' action seems to us...elementary! The 3.5 million periodical products collected and distributed in 2023 enabled over 300,000 women to experience their periods with dignity.
