BLOODY GOOD DEBATE: THIS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY, WE’VE TEAMED UP WITH BLOODY GOOD PERIOD

A charity project on a mission to create a sustainable flow of period products for asylum seekers, refugees and those who cannot afford them.

Join us on Thursday 7 March for our Bloody Good Debate with Bloody Good Period founder, Gabby Edlin, period poverty activist, Amika George and a special guest to be announced soon. Together, they will talk about the work being done and what you can do to help eliminate period poverty and the stigma surrounding menstruation.

GABBY EDLIN: FOUNDER OF BLOODY GOOD PERIOD

Gabby Edlin founded Bloody Good Period when she decided something needed to be done about the fact that very few food banks and asylum seeker drop-in centres were providing feminine hygiene products on a regular basis – despite a desperate need. What started as a whip-round on Facebook is now a growing enterprise with a vision to end period poverty.

AMIKA GEORGE: PERIOD POVERTY ACTIVIST

Amika, 19, is the founder of #FreePeriods, the campaign to end period poverty. She started #FreePeriods aged 17 and still at school, calling on the government to give free menstrual products to children from low-income families, successfully persuading them to pledge £1.5m of the Tampon Tax fund to address period poverty. Last year, Amika won the Goalkeepers Global Goals award from Bill & Melinda Gates, in conjunction with the United Nations, and was recently listed as one of TIME magazine’s 25 most influential teenagers in the world
