Your Voice Has Power: Share Your Story This May on World Pulse

This May, World Pulse invites you to speak out on the issues that matter most to you—from breaking period stigma to calling for equity in philanthropy to celebrating the power of connection. When you share your story or initiative, you could be selected for a Story Award or Featured Initiative Award for your powerful contribution and receive an honorarium of up to $300 US!

Here’s what we’re talking about this month:

Menstrual Hygiene Day | May 28

What’s your period story?

This Menstrual Hygiene Day, we’re amplifying true stories that break stigma and celebrate dignity in menstruation across cultures, genders, and abilities. Share your lived experience, grassroots campaign, or innovative solution and you could be featured. Learn more.

#FundHerNow | Extended!

What happens when women receive the funding they need to lead change? Building on our #ShiftThePower campaign and report, we’re calling for stories that highlight what’s possible when funding is equitable—and what happens when it’s not. Share your personal experiences, insights, or initiatives that flip the script on traditional philanthropy. Learn more.

Stronger Together

Behind every act of courage is someone who helped make it possible. This May, we’re honoring the mentors, allies, friends, and supporters who believed in us and helped us grow. Who stood by you? Whose support shaped your journey? Share your story of connection, gratitude, and growth. Learn more.

Want to Write About Something Else?

That’s welcome too! You’re the expert on your lived experience—and we want to hear it. Share the story only you can tell. Share now.
