During four vibrant days in February, The Period Place hosted its inaugural festival activation, made possible by the generosity of Splore Festival organisers.

Our aim was to create an inclusive and empowering menstruation space, promoting period equity, providing education on menstruation and reusable options, engaging in stigma-breaking conversations, and offering a comfortable environment for those experiencing menstruation symptoms.

In June 2021, period products became free for all schools in Aotearoa who opted in to the Ikura Manaakitia Te Whare Tangata programme. Funding for the initiative is secured until June 2024, providing a critical window to make a lasting impact on the lives of students. However, with the recent change in government, the future beyond this period remains uncertain.

We partnered up with Countdown for a cycle long campaign to level up the discussion around periods and get bloody legends all around Aotearoa involved.

We reached out to all our Impact Partners, that were still working as an essential service and asked them one thing "how can we help"

The Aotearoa Period Hui 2020 was a bloody hit! Thank you to all of our speakers who gave their time, knowledge and expertise to willing share with the collective group!

It’s been a few days since we popped down to see the Prime Minister in her office to talk about periods.

The impact of the concept activation as people intentional approached us as they left to share their personal experiences, their appreciation and share what they had learned.

Over 350 people attended our market during the 3 hours we were open with tens of thousands further reached through our social channels.

32 people came together including charities, businesses, activists, health professionals, teachers, education providers, product designers and more

The Period Place mobilised the Period Relief Packs project quickly during Covid-19, to ensure safe management of periods.
