Inspired by the UK Environmenstrual Week of Action, Sustainable Earth has started an annual event centering period taboo and access to menstrual care. Nationwide and worldwide, people that menstruate face cultural stigma and insufficient healthcare to the point where they cannot go about their days safely. Additionally, many available period products are harmful to both our bodies and the environment due to plastics and toxic materials.
The event will include activities and discussions to raise awareness about period care alternatives as well as the importance of accessible healthcare. We are planning to hold it on October 24th – hope to see you there!
