The Empower Period Smash The Stigma Challenge
We are fundraising through our Smash the Stigma Fundraising Challenge to deliver peer-led period support with the most marginalised girls, women and people with periods in our communities across the UK. Through co-creating a collective space for peer-led training, safe spaces for girls, women and people with periods to learn about their bodies and dismantle internalised period shame, as well as receiving Empowerment Packs containing sustainable period products and accessible menstrual education, we will empower vulnerable girls and women to reclaim their bodies and become leaders of their own lives.
Across the UK, thousands of girls, women and people with periods are unable to control their own bodies and lives because of period poverty and shame. The Coronavirus pandemic has only made this worse.
