$0 Goal

Kwe’k (pronounced “queck”) means ‘women’ in the Potawatomi language. We are The Women’s Society.

The Kwek Society works to end period poverty  while celebrating individual dignity, agency, and success.

We provide U.S. Indigenous students and their school peers, as well as certain Indigenous communities, period care items, including our moon time and Auntie bags filled with supplies.

We curate and share widely period education materials and traditional, Indigenous teachings about periods that center menstruators.

And we work to shine a light on the inequities experienced by those we help.
