Cycle long Countdown campaign

Our cycle long mini-campaign with Countdown was all about reducing stigma and igniting conversations around periods and period stigma! Countdown donated five cents and a period product for every pack sold in the month of September. A great bonus of this campaign was how easy it was for the general public to get involved, all you had to do was buy a period product from Countdown and you were a part of our campaign and helping more people access period products around Aotearoa!
