About Us
Climate Change, Environment, Sustainability, all of these happened in
one universe, Gender Equality, Sexuality Rights etc happened in another
universe with no regard to each other. We saw the interlinks, and
learned to draw inspiration from the older Ecofeminism movements and
thus EFRF evolved.
2012 – 2015 - We started our work identifying the waste issues caused by
sanitary napkins. Our first product biodegradable sanitary napkin was
appreciated by DST, but we realized that Sustainable Menstruation is the
future, and moved from single-use menstrual products to reusable ones in
our awareness training and advocacy movements.
2015 – 2021 - On understanding the nuances of health, rights, choice,
economic and environmental concerns, our work expanded to sustainable
menstruation, holistic health, comprehensive sexuality, SRHR, gender,
and sexual violence. We also helped many other individuals and
collectives to start their work in this space.
2021 Onwards - Now we use eco-feminism as a lens to critically
understand, evaluate and advocate for the public good, identifying these
to be important aspects of public health. EFRF is now operating all over
India, more actively in South India, and is headquartered in Kerala.
