What We Stand For

Education

There’s so much unnecessary shame around periods and it not only prevents us from understanding and accepting ourselves, but also holds us back from living our best lives. We can support you and everyone to feel they understand and accept their bodies and when and how it’s useful to seek medical support. We love to offer reusable products as much as possible with sustainability in mind every step of the way, but fully appreciate these aren’t practical for all situations. They do however reduce period poverty as reusable products last for a number of years, and are super comfy too! We can come and provide workshops and talks to most groups including schools, organisations and businesses.

Empowering

At the heart of Freedom4girls work is the importance of working together to create self compassion – everybody benefits from understanding ourselves and each other. As part of this we are passionate about educating period allies such as dads, other family members and employers. Facilitating the personal choices and comfort of the people we work with is paramount. We empower and educate people on the options available to them, but ultimately prioritise their choice

Campaigning

Our vision is built around the need for equity – for women, and all marginalised genders. This relates to both reproductive rights and menstrual rights. It is heavily linked to the lack of standard education about how our bodies work as well as information around health support and options. We are all being held back by outdated views and shame in society and this needs to change. A huge part of our work around menstrual equity can be achieved through working together, and lifting each other up. We pride ourselves on our strong relationships with organisations across the UK and East Africa, and individuals with shared goals and values. If you would like to work with us – do get in touch.

Fundraising

Fundraising is a key part of us being able to continue to provide free period products and support/education. Right now, we know money is tight for most, but any help you can offer makes a huge difference. This could be: Individuals: Setting up a donation station or take part in or set up a fundraising event (like a sponsored walk) Organisations / clubs: Invite us to come talk about our work to spread the word, fundraise through group events, provide free period products in your bathrooms
