Championing menstrual health for all, with Alea’s Roxane Champagne-Duval

In a bold response to the scarcity of eco-friendly menstrual products in public venues, Roxane Champagne-Duval established Alea Protection in 2022. With a passionate commitment to sustainability and ending period stigma, her company provides organic and biodegradable tampons and pads and champions a revolution in menstrual health. Alea Protection has pioneered a comprehensive solution that empowers businesses to offer these vital products to their employees, supporting new federal mandates for free menstrual access in workplaces since December last year. In this inspiring episode, we delve into how Alea’s products have entered and transformed over 400 company bathrooms across Canada, including prestigious corporate firms and government institutions. We also explore Roxane’s ongoing efforts to extend these services into educational environments, driving forward a future where menstrual health is not a privilege but a right. Join us to discover the transformative power of inclusive workplace practices and envision a future where menstrual health accessibility is universal.
