About Us
We are The Period Project Merseyside. We pride ourselves on the following values:
Inclusivity: our projects are for women and people who have periods. We abide by a definition of women that’s inclusive of Trans, non-binary and gender fluid people. We recognise that men can also have periods.
Equality: we believe everyone has the right to a dignified period therefore will give our menstrual product packs to anyone who needs them – just ask!
Positivity: we have created safe spaces for women to come together to network, socialise and celebrate all the amazing things we do in spite of our struggles. We value our self-worth and wellbeing very highly.
Education: through research we aim to counter stigma surrounding menstruation and the patriarchal attitudes that create them. We also want to raise awareness for the experiences of our sisters from around the globe, often where period shame is more severe.
Change: we want to become more politically active to strive towards a society without period poverty. Therefore, one that values women’s health and other vital services at a governmental level.
