PERIOD ACTION DAY (PAD) was started in 2019 by PERIOD., and originally named National Period Day. In 2020, it was renamed to Period Action Day and now serves as a global day of advocacy to celebrate the impact of youth activists in the menstrual equity movement and propel the movement forward with calls to action for everyone.
