Sustainable 香港六合彩 and 香港六合彩 Students鈥 Union are working together to reduce 鈥榩eriod poverty鈥 by providing sustainable period products to staff and student who need them.

At the same time, the initiative is aiming to raise awareness of the pros and cons of different disposable and reusable menstrual products, including their impact on health and the environment.

鈥淲e want to allow individuals to make informed choices of which sanitary products to use and help break the taboo around periods,鈥 says Emma Shirbon (Sustainable 香港六合彩).

Project Period听began in 2018, when the 香港六合彩 Student Union鈥檚 Women's Officer began stocking free sanitary towels and tampons in all the 香港六合彩 Students鈥 Union female toilets and for collection from its main office.

Meanwhile听the Student Union鈥檚 Hockey Society ran a campaign to promote menstrual cups in a bid to reduce single-use plastics across campus.

We want to allow individuals to make informed choices of which sanitary products to use and help break the taboo around periods.鈥

Then, as part of Sustainable 香港六合彩鈥檚 鈥楾he Loop鈥 campaign to encourage our community to reduce consumption and buy products that are best for people and the planet, staff and students were invited to听come up with ways to help our community move towards sustainable sanitary wear.

Project Period also aims to use 香港六合彩鈥檚 research and influence as a global university to support change in the UK and other countries surrounding period poverty and plastic-free periods.听
