Free Period

Campaigning to introduce free sanitary products in Tees Valley as a right, not a privilege. #EndPeriodPoverty

[Free Period @FreePeriodNE]

Thank you @MbroCouncil & @stocktoncouncil for passing motions in support of Free Period, & to those helping with donations in Community hubs across Middlesbrough.
The support has been amazing, but we mustn't forget the causes of #PeriodPoverty & the political reasons behind it.

Buying tampons is an annoyance for most, but it’s an impossibility for some. https://t.co/wSrwmD3JCd

@vmax1232 @annaturley @Gildy55 Just because you repeat an insult doesn’t mean (a) you are right (b) you provide a well reasoned argument or (c) your insults are worth listening to

[Free Period @FreePeriodNE]

@vmax1232 @annaturley @Gildy55 Anna stands up for people who matter. She gives up huge amounts of your time. Guess it’s more than what you do...

[Free Period @FreePeriodNE]

@vmax1232 @annaturley @Gildy55 @annaturley who voted to be poorer. Anna is right to defend the interests of her constituents. The hooray Henry’s of the Tory party won’t lose out but people in the north east will

[Free Period @FreePeriodNE]

A must watch: Brexit will hit women harder. Austerity has hit women harder. Women MPs targeted by right wing thugs. So well done Anna for standing up for your constituents. You are right, no one votes to be poorer #peoplesvote

[Anna Turley MP @annaturley]

WATCH: People are fed up of our area being left behind. Many voted to leave because they wanted this to change. But it was UK governments that have caused this, not the EU. The facts of Brexit are clear now - we will be hit the hardest and no one voted to lose jobs on Teesside.

[Free Period @FreePeriodNE]

There are some councillors in Stockton who think period poverty is a myth. Maybe if they don’t believe local women, they might believe a man investigating poverty, human rights and how it disproportionality impacts women and kids #austerity

@TheGoldenSmog @WeShallWeekend Thank you, that’s great.Outwood school in boro have a pop up food bank, could they go there? @cwright2209

[Free Period @FreePeriodNE]

@ProfKatyShaw @PeriodPovertyUK Yep! From men who tried to say that it was ok, women could use food banks. Not thinking (a) how to get there (b) can only use 3 times (c) not helpful of you are at sch also local Tories saying not a prob in Schs as they already provide, they don’t/didn’t

[Free Period @FreePeriodNE]

@PeriodPovertyUK Yes

[Free Period @FreePeriodNE]

Sadly we don’t have to look far to find schools with similar policies, but what is this tory gov doing to end this - celebrating the zero beh policy in Schools - we think its dehumanising but they do nothing

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 leading the way - after their pilot scheme in Aberdeen, Scotland will be introducing free sanitary products for students https://t.co/gRCUTuIvCA

[di hewitt @di_hewitt]

I’m hoping @FreePeriodNE will be there to highlight the need for accessible sanitary products

[FreePeriodProducts @Period_Poverty]

An FOI investigation by @MonicaLennon7 into the availability of sanitary products in NHS hospitals has led @scotgov to instruct every health board to make sure appropriate provision is available

This is why we’re pledging to provide free sanitary products in schools across the Tees Valley:
