Let’s End Period Poverty for Students in Aotearoa.
Our mission is to provide free, easily accessible sanitary products to students across campuses in New Zealand, ensuring that everyone can pursue their education without the added stress of budgeting for menstrual care products.
How It Works
Thanks to our sponsors we're distributing free sanitary products to bathrooms at participating
educational institutions, ensuring that students can discreetly access what they need, when they need it, without financial burden.
Join the movement
Whether you're a student looking to get involved, an educational institution interested in participating, or a business keen to make a difference, there's a place for you in The Period Project. Together, we can create a world where menstrual care is accessible to all, ensuring that periods never stand in the way of education.
Our sponsors
Our initiative runs through the generous support of business sponsors, who also share in our vision of a more inclusive world.
These partnerships allow us to provide an ongoing supply of menstrual products, while also offering our sponsors a unique opportunity to engage with students through advertising.
Empowering students,
Period.
At the heart of our project lies a commitment to health, dignity, and equality. We understand the challenges that come with managing menstruation, especially for students who are already navigating the complexities of studying. We aim to alleviate these challenges and support our students in every way we can.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Period poverty is a pressing and widespread issue in Aotearoa.
23% of individuals who menstruate in Aotearoa have missed work or school at some point in their lives, due to a lack of access to period products.
70,000 menstruating individuals in Aotearoa experience period poverty monthly.
The financial toll of managing menstruation is significant, averaging $16,000 over a lifetime.
