Providing free period products to the people of Angus 💕 Our aim is to end #periodpoverty

"I noticed the amount of plastic waste I was gener

"I noticed the amount of plastic waste I was generating during just one menstrual cycle. I went to my local supermarket to buy an eco-friendly alternative, and there were none."In an era of ecological awareness, many industries have been pressured to reduce plastic consumption in order to create more accessible sustainable products ♻️. Despite the period products 🩸 (which are 90% plastic) contributing to 200,000 tonnes of landfill waste in the UK each year, the industry has faced little backlash regarding reducing waste.Ella Daish has broken the mould in challenging governments and local authorities in the UK to consider the plastic crisis by funding eco-friendly period products. Indeed, Ella's #EndPeriodPlastic campaign has already gained traction, with the Welsh government as well as various supermarkets being pressured into stipulating that 50% of all period poverty funding must be spent on eco-friendly products 👍.Ella talks of the full extent of her activism efforts, and how government plays a role in tackling period plastic waste on the 'Age of Plastic' podcast at https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/age-of-plastic/id1438100014?i=1000465415943.#Sustainability #EndPeriodPlastic

"1 in 10 of us in the UK still struggle with perio

"1 in 10 of us in the UK still struggle with period poverty, yet the issue is rarely discussed. As one of the richest countries in the world, this is unacceptable."Period poverty remains a prevalent issue in the UK, with the ongoing stigmas surrounding the inability to afford period products often preventing the open discussions which aid in breaking down such social barriers 💬. Hey Girls have launched their new campaign 'Seeing Red' to encourage getting angry about the inequality which many individuals still experience in modern Britain and the wider world 🌏.Free Period Angus in our ongoing partnership with Hey Girls is working to combat these stigmas in Angus, with the distribution of free period products including menstrual cups allowing for accessible products to diminish the financial strain which affects many of us every month 👛.Watch the full Seeing Red campaign video at https://youtu.be/D8n-5qoqnm0 and find out more about our partnership with Hey Girls at https://www.freeperiodangus.co.uk/hey-girls-forms/.#SeeingRed #HeyGirls #FreePeriodAngus #Sustainability

🏳️‍🌈It's pride month! 🏳️‍🌈This month is incredibly important in recognising LGBT people in their strengths as a community but also addressing the societal oppression that is still present in the modern world 🌏. Indeed, periods are an issue that affects more than just women, as many transgender men and non-binary people go unrecognised in the modern discourse surrounding periods 💬.In creating a more open and inclusive discussion around periods, it is important to recognise the inherent inequalities faced by such individuals, as the largely feminised product ranges can alienate those who do not identify as women. Transgender activist Kenny Ethan Jones explains "Having a period already causes me a lot of gender dysphoria, but this dysphoria becomes heightened when I have to shop for a product that is labelled as ‘women’s health’ and in most cases, is pretty and pink".In recognizing these issues and opening up discussions around periods and inequality to a wider community our understanding of the scope of the issue can be better understood 💕.

Sustainability and the environment are important w

Sustainability and the environment are important with Angus being a rural area. To support the poverty and wellbeing agenda we partnered with Proper Pads, a local enterprise that makes washable cloth pads.The partnership has allowed for us to run proper pad workshops here each person involved is able to make two reusable products, but an unintended consequence has been the relationships people have built through developing these products together and having rich conversations with each other. Having such discussions is incredibly important for breaking down the stigmas often associated with periods and period poverty.To date, 56 people have attended our workshops, including a women’s community justice project, with 100% of attendees advising they would recommend them to others.Find out more about sustainability and periods at https://www.freeperiodangus.co.uk/period-poverty/ and visit Proper Pads here.#freeperiodangus #angusperiodpledge #menstrualwellbeing #wevegotyourperiodcovered #rightnotaluxury #heygirls #menstrualcups #cupcup
