ABOUT
Across life stages like hormonal changes, infections, periods, or menopause, millions experience intimate health issues that cause pain and discomfort. But these realities are often silenced, especially at work. Instead of waiting for labor laws to change, Canesten reimagined Volunteer Days to create The Intimate Leave through the Canesten Foundation. Employees could use their volunteer hours to rest while anonymously supporting others through a chat that answers questions about intimate health, turning rest into an act of care for others going through the same experience.
