A woman's dignity shouldn't depend on what she can afford. Or on who's watching.

The tracker, in two taps. Open it →

The Sister Circle began with a simple belief: every woman in Toronto deserves to move through her month with dignity. We soon saw that dignity is taken from women in two quiet ways — by scarcity, and by surveillance.

When she can't afford the basics.

One in six women in Canada has gone without period products because of cost. So we run neighbourhood drives and partner with local shelters to put products directly into the hands of women who need them — freely, and without judgment.

When her own body becomes data.

The other quiet theft is harder to see. Most period apps quietly sell what they learn about a woman's body. We refused to build that. Our free tracker keeps everything on her own phone — no account, no servers, nothing we could hand over or sell. Because privacy is dignity too.

What we give. And what we refuse to take.

Free. Private. Yours. Built in Toronto.

I started The Sister Circle because I believe period poverty is one of the quietest forms of inequity in Canadian cities — and one of the most solvable. Over the next year, with the help of our partners and community, we’ll do real work in Toronto. I hope you’ll join us.
