Impact of the organisation

TABOO is an Australian social enterprise selling high-quality, certified organic cotton period care, with all net profits supporting initiatives that end period poverty. TABOO is redefining how business can create lasting community impact.

Period poverty is where someone is unable to access dignified period care or menstrual health education, therefore limiting their capacity to engage fully in life. It affects thousands of people across Australia, most commonly intersecting with experiences of disadvantage including homelessness, domestic violence, disability, incarceration or geographic isolation. Through TABOO’s hero program, Pad It

Forward, and other menstrual health education initiatives, TABOO ensures that people experiencing period poverty have access to essential period products and quality, stigma-free health education.

With an ambitious vision to end period poverty in Australia by 2030, TABOO is entering an exciting new chapter of building scalable, fundable, evidence-driven programs, campaigns and initiatives that effectively ensure people have access to the period care and menstrual health education they deserve.
