Hello All 79,845 of you! Yesterday was Budget Day and once again, the Government chose to ignore the plight of every child in the UK who is missing school because they can’t access menstrual products. This is NOT acceptable! As austerity measures continue to squeeze families, and child poverty in the UK reaches its highest point since 2010, it’s essential that the Government intervenes soon. PLEASE share this article: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/girls-missing-days-school-because-11482703 There is cross party support as Labour, the Liberal Democrats and others have pledged to end period poverty. We will not relent until every child is able to continue their education with dignity. AND we have some exciting news to share with you about a #FreePeriods protest on 20th December in Parliament Square. Watch this space!!! Amika
