Research by Plan International UK has shown that 49% of girls have missed a day of school because of their period due to not being able to access or afford sanitary products. This means they have also missed out of Guide meetings and Guide events. The skills gained from both school and GirlGuiding are priceless, we can’t let this happen anymore. We are raising funds to be able to supply our local Guide units with a ‘little red box’ full of sanitary products, where they can freely access anything they need to be able to continue with their Guiding careers and education. We want all our girls to be able to enjoy and feel safe in a Guide meeting without worrying about their period.
