Hundreds of thousands of wads of toilet paper are being used as period products in Aotearoa today.
OUR VISION
01
CONVERSATION
The first step on the pathway to menstrual equity - talking about it.
At The Period Place, we create safe online and in-person spaces for open, stigma-free conversations. We create stigma-busting campaigns with the biggest Kiwi brands, advocate for everyone who gets a period and engage with Government to tackle the many layers of menstrual inequity.
INTERGENERATIONAL
MENSTRUAL EQUITY FOR AOTEAROA
02
EDUCATION
The second step - information when you need it.
We advocate for age-appropriate menstrual health education for every girl, woman, non-binary and trans person at every stage of their life, so they are fully informed about what's happening to their body. We believe everyone should be educated on menstrual health, whether they get a period or not.
ACCESS
03
What should be the last step in the pathway to menstrual equity - period products.
Unfortunately for many, this is still the first part of the journey they engage with, and for hundreds of thousands of Kiwis, they have extremely limited or no access to products at all. Through our nationwide programme, we donate millions of pads, tampons, liners, menstrual cups, reusable pads and period underwear to people who bloody need them.
