Million Moons
One moon,
One million menstrual stories.
Your story matters.
A global storytelling and fundraising experience turning silence into visibility. One memory, one story, one voice at a time.
What is Million Moons?
Million Moons is a platform that gathers one million menstrual experiences on a beautiful moon of lights.
Each light contains a unique perspective on the whole menstrual cycle.
By reading stories, sharing stories or telling your own you will be helping to create a better narrative around the whole menstrual cycle.
Million Moons is also an invitation to be part of something bigger.
An invitation to make change.
Your experience might seem ordinary. But what happens when thousands of people describe similar things?
Million Moons wants to explore those patterns, identify questions that deserve attention and work with researchers to understand what they might mean. It starts with people telling us what happened to them.
Using natural language processing, we can identify issues, themes or narratives that need further analysis.
With every little story, patterns become harder to ignore.
What do we mean by “stories”?
A story can be a memory, an experience, a moment, a feeling or something you have noticed about living with a menstrual cycle.
It does not need to be dramatic, long, unusual or beautifully written.
What have you experienced that women’s health needs to know?
You don’t need an extraordinary story.
Tell us one thing about living with a menstrual cycle:
A symptom you dismissed. A pattern you noticed. Something that affected school or work. Something nobody explained. Something you wish had been understood sooner.
Because there is still so much to do.
What change is needed?
Menstrual and reproductive health remain under-researched
The relationship between hormones, the menstrual cycle and mental health is still not well enough understood
Symptoms are too often normalised, dismissed or misdiagnosed
Serious menstrual and reproductive health conditions can take years to recognise and diagnose
“An estimated 2.1 billion women and adolescent girls worldwide menstruate, but robust research on menstruation is limited.”
World Health Organisation, 2026
One million stories.
