Introduction
F@#$ luxury, menstrual products are a necessity. We’ve got you covered. Period.
free the dot. is the USC’s menstrual program for students at Western, to ensure students do not have to worry whether or not they have access to menstrual products. Menstrual products are a necessity for a large portion of Western’s population, and students who menstruate, including but not limited to female, non-binary, and transgender students, require access to these products in order to move through daily life. We want to make sure students have high quality, accessible, free products.
Emergencies happen, we’ve got you covered. Period. We have worked closely with Facilities Management and our partners at Citron Hygiene to install free-vend menstrual product machines in bathrooms across campus so that you never have to worry about missing your next class.
We are shameless about offering free menstrual products to students. Period.
With the help of students, campus stakeholders, and community partners, Free the Dot is committed to continuously optimizing and improving our approach to integrate intersectional and sustainable choices into our inventory over time. As new products become available, we are actively working to maximize the effectiveness of the options we provide, recognize the diverse needs and values of members of our community, and ensure a wide array of supplies are thoughtfully available for students.

Petition
Menstrual products are not a luxury- they are a necessity. Menstrual products are a necessity for a large portion of Western’s population, and students who menstruate, including but not limited to female, non-binary, and transgender students, require access to these products in order to move through daily life. The USC recommends that Western University invest in the provision of free menstrual products to be provided in ALL washrooms on campus. Sign your name to this petition to show your support for this recommendation!
