University of Manitoba Period Supply Access Map

October 18, 2025

Centre for Human Rights Research

As a part of CHRR’s Period Poverty and Equity, On Campus and Beyond project, a team of volunteers conducted an audit of washrooms on the University of Manitoba campus to assess the availability of period supplies. The audit found that period supplies were freely available in less than 3% of the washrooms on campus. Many of the coin-operated dispensers that did exist in many of the bathrooms were empty or malfunctioning. At the time of the audit, there were no period supplies in any men’s washrooms on campus.

In September 2025, the University of Manitoba, with the guidance of UMSU Women’s Centre, increased the availability of free period supplies on campus with baskets in a number of washrooms (including women’s, men’s, gender inclusive, and accessible washrooms) across campus. With the support of Caretaking Services, the baskets will include a form with a QR code with a request to be filled.

Our map features a list of places to access period supplies on the University of Manitoba campuses was created to help promote equitable access to period supplies for menstruating individuals at the university.

“Period Poverty and Equity, on Campus and Beyond” utilized a menstrual justice lens to bring together faculty and staff, with students and organizations, to address period poverty (the increased economic vulnerability resulting from the financial burden posed by the need for menstrual supplies) and promote period equity.
