A growing world population of 8 billion. Half will have, are having, or have had periods.

“We live in a world designed around men and their 24-hour hormonal cycle; expecting people to show up consistently five days a week, eight hours a day. People with periods aren’t designed that way. Gender equity is not creating space for 50% of the population to fit into a men’s mould. It is changing the way society operates, creating space for all genders to reach their full potential. This requires a system-level change.”

- Marlou Cornelissen, Founder Period Reality

Period Reality is a global movement to achieve gender equity through system-level change. We do this by educating about and advocating for living in sync with your cycle.

We are the Cycle Awareness Revolution. We aim for better knowledge and understanding of the hormonal cycle world-wide. From reaching over 1,000 girls in a school in Nigeria to speaking with NASA about the influence of the hormonal cycle on astronauts. There's so much to learn and to discover. Contribute too to global understanding, appreciation and empathy of all nuances of the menstrual cycle.

The menstrual cycle affects us all; you either have one or you were born from one.
