Students Left or Missed School Because they Didn’t have Period Products.

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

The Kwek Society works to end period poverty in Indigenous communities in the United States while celebrating individual dignity, agency, and success.

We provide Indigenous students and their peers, as well as certain Indigenous communities, period care items, including our moon time 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.
