Menstrual Health is a human rights issue, and there's a pressing need for Members of Parliament to prioritise it in policy and budgeting. I call on my fellow legislators to champion access to menstrual products, inclusive WASH infrastructure, and MHH education.

Back in 2023 as part of the #EveryPeriodCounts movement we teamed up with @LoveYourPeriod1 to collect period stories for change.

Enforcing the narrative that periods are ‘disgusting’ continues to build on already harmful stigmas and misconceptions, through generations.🩸

Our Partners @PEERUganda, under Small Grants and @We_empower_her, under period positive schools are advancing menstrual health education in Mukono and refugee communities respectively, making period equality a reality for all. @IriseInt

A massive congratulations to our youth member, Molly.

Molly is a powerful voice - through speaking out to challenge stigma and drive policy change, she demonstrates how youth voice is leading the transformative social change we need to see in the menstrual justice movement.

We have heard the rumoured cuts to the period product schemes in schools across England under the Department of Education.

We’re in the process of drafting a response along with the Period Equity Alliance ahead of the spring statement.
