Aanya Patel

FOUNDER

An advocate for social change and a public speaker, Aanya Patel founded Global Girls Initiative at the age of 14. She believes that period products are a basic necessity that should be easily accessible to all and equally believes in the importance of menstrual education.

Through advocacy, her mission is to remove the stigma surrounding periods and improve menstrual hygiene products and education accessibility. Aanya has innovated and branded a cost-effective menstural hygiene dispenser that holds different brands and sizes of menstrual products. These dispensers have been installed in over 50 + Title I middle and high schools and universities in Florida.

Additionally, she has worked with Florida House of Representative member Kelly Skidmore to pass a Florida law (HB 389), allowing school districts to provide period products within their schools at no cost. Aanya is working with different state representatives nationwide to help pass legislation to provide period products for schools and universities at no charge.
