Break the barriers

"We should be made to talk about periods instead of hiding them away. I don’t think it’s something we should be ashamed of." - Kelsey, 14, UK

Our period emoji campaign is just part of our work tackling the shame and stigma that surround periods in the UK, and around the world.

Based on the findings from our first-of-its-kind report, Break the Barriers: Girls’ Experiences of Menstruation in the UK, we’re committed to listening to girls and other menstruators and putting their voices first, and transforming their experience of their periods through our Menstrual Manifesto.
