Cysters is a grassroots, community-led charity committed to enhancing the health, education, and well-being of individuals experiencing menstrual, maternal and mental health challenges, particularly those from marginalized or culturally diverse backgrounds. Our work is grounded in intersectional lived experiences and the principles of decolonization, which we term menstrual and maternal justice.

Our mission is threefold:

Public Education: We aim to enhance awareness and understanding of menstrual, maternal, and mental health issues.

Community Empowerment: We equip individuals with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed decisions about their treatment options. Acknowledging our limits, we collaborate with other organizations to provide a comprehensive approach to community care.

Cultural Advocacy: We work to dismantle the cultural misogyny surrounding menstrual, maternal, and mental health issues, as well as chronic illnesses.

Through these efforts, Cysters is dedicated to creating a more inclusive and informed society where everyone has access to the support and information they need for their reproductive health and well-being.
