Tackling Period Poverty

Periods are normal. They are not a choice. We all either have them, have had them, or know people who do. Periods are not just a ‘women’s issue’, they are not dirty, and they are definitely not something to be ashamed of. No-one should be disadvantaged because of their period. Everyone should have access to period products, as and when they are required, to use in a private space that is safe and dignified. (Welsh Government)

Tackling period poverty remains a priority for the government.  A Period Proud Wales is a plan by the Welsh Government to achieve period dignity in Wales and eradicate period poverty.  It will help to drive forward to make Wales a truly period proud nation and one that ensures everyone who needs products can access them without embarrassment or shame.

Carmarthenshire County Council, through the Welsh Government Period Dignity Grant are committed to tackling period poverty and are proud as a local authority to be providing those in need with free sanitary products.
