Honoured to have worked with Zeba and her team on periodpain.ca 💛

For generations, women have been told to live with period pain. But pain that disrupts daily life is not normal and it should not be dismissed.

"More funding means more support for young women experiencing period pain."
Zeba Khan, Women’s Health Research Institute member, UBC PhD student

PeriodPain.ca is one example of research in action. This digital tool – which was co-designed by youth with lived experience of period pain, along with medical professionals at the Women’s Health Research Institute and the University of British Columbia – is helping young people understand what’s normal, what’s not, and when to seek care. When we invest in women’s health research, we change lives.

March is Women’s Health Research Month. With your support, BC Women’s Health Foundation is funding research that leads to better answers, better care and real change. Your donation will have an impact.
