In collaboration with talented illustrator Marzieh, we are excited to share a collection of illustrations depicting various experiences of menstruation and menstrual equity. These illustrations are not just artworks; they are tools for sparking conversations, challenging stigmas, and promoting understanding.
These illustrations are free to use for non-commercial purposes. Please share your name and email address below to download high resolution, vector versions of all the illustrations.
Each image tells a story, offering a unique perspective on the experiences, challenges, and triumphs related to menstruation. We believe in the power of visual storytelling to transcend barriers and connect people from diverse backgrounds, fostering empathy and solidarity in the journey toward menstrual equity.
All illustrations featured on our website are freely available for use. We invite individuals, organizations, and educators to leverage them in their advocacy efforts. We encourage interpretation and dialogue, recognizing that everyone's experiences with menstruation are valid and deserve to be heard.
Join us as we harness the power of art to advance menstrual equity worldwide. Explore, engage, and be inspired to take action towards a future where menstruation is not a barrier but a catalyst for equality and empowerment.
