WHAT WE DO:
Change.
We’re here to change the conversation, change the education, and change the access around periods.
Our Partners
Our Mission
We’re creating a future where periods are seen as normal, and where everyone can access period products in Aotearoa.
Our Impact
We’ve had an incredible second year at The Period Place.
600+
hours committed
In the last quarter we’ve spent over 600 hours changing the korero around periods; talking to individuals, hosting the first national period hui, talking to MPs, going to parliament to talk to the Minister for Women about periods in Aotearoa.
6000+
dollars spent
At our first period market, during just 3.5 hours a whopping $6,000 worth of period products, books and merch were sold to people of all genders, heights, cultures, sizes and hair colours.
650k+
people reached
People are ready to talk periods - we know this because over 650,000 of them have seen a post or a story by The Period Place on social media, just in the last quarter.
Our Values
The Period Place has a human focus and a systems-view.
We look at the real-life experiences of people with periods and highlight how the systems surrounding them can create and reinforce barriers intergeneration-ally.
We then reframe the approach to access to support individual choice for navigating periods, keeping in might the rights of the individual and the right to autonomy.
“Periods are a feminist issue.
Feminism champions choice: we will fail as a society unless Aotearoa ensures basic human health rights - notably, the availability of healthy period products.”

For others, it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. Whatever you’re here for, we’ve got options for you to choose from.
