EPISODE 161: The Period-Positive Approach in Education
January 1, 2024
Overview:
At just 26 years old, Claire is not only a Thiel Fellow but a trailblazer in the field of menstrual equity. With Aunt Flow, she’s on a mission to make the world better for people with periods. Under Claire’s leadership, Aunt Flow has revolutionized public bathrooms by stocking them with freely accessible tampons and pads. The company has introduced patented dispensers in over 30,000 bathrooms, raising an impressive $17 million+ in venture capital.
Collaborating closely with education leaders and architects, Claire ensures that Aunt Flow’s mission to provide freely accessible period products transcends boundaries. It’s noteworthy that the push for Aunt Flow products in schools doesn’t come solely from adults; rather, it’s the students themselves who recognize the importance of menstrual equity in their learning environments. In this episode, discover how any school can join the movement and bring Aunt Flow’s impactful initiatives to their campus, fostering an environment where every student can focus on their education without the worry of period supplies.
