Give UK women in full-time education/on benefits to receive free sanitary wear.
In Kelmscott Secondary School, our group of Youth Health Champions and Team London Ambassadors have been campaigning since September to put a stop to period poverty by organizing a campaign named Drip 16, involving producing a government funded P-Card (Period Card) that gives out free sanitary wear.
We want feminine product manufacturers to donate products to the domestic violence refuges, charities supporting homeless women and girls and the donations to be made overseas to the most vulnerable and in need groups; the campaign will include making jewellery to sell and an art installation using feminine products and packaging. The sales proceeds would not only be used to raise the profile of the campaign but profits would be divided between charities supporting all types of women and girls.
