Water Justice is Menstruation Justice
“Water Justice is Menstruation Justice” is a project exploring the intersections of menstruation justice and water justice. Currently seeking funding, this project is a collaboration between the Centre for Human Rights Research and Dr. Lisa Smith (Douglas College). “Water Justice is Menstruation Justice” addresses a gap in the literature. While the impacts of lack of access to water and sanitation on menstruation justice have been assessed in the Global South, there is relative silence on these impacts in Canada.

Water Justice is Menstruation Justice: A conversation with co-resistors
On February 20, 2025, Just Waters hosted an event titled Water Justice is Menstruation Justice: A conversation with co-resistors in collaboration with the CHRR, UM Office of the Vice-President (Indigenous) (OVPI), Moon Time Connections and Douglas College. This event was grounded in a Water and Tobacco Ceremony led by Knowledge Keepers Ramona Milliea and Bill Milliea and featured a live graphic recording by Anishinaabe artist and facilitator Roxanne Balan. Moderated by Christine Cyr (UM, OVPI) and Lisa Smith (Douglas College), the panel discussion continues to inform efforts to collaboratively develop an external funding application for the “Water Justice is Menstruation Justice” project.
