Auckland Council has partnered with charity The Period Place to provide free period products and basic period education in select Auckland Council community centres for a trial launched on International Women’s Day.
“We are delighted to partner with The Period Place for this initiative. Period poverty is a real concern in our society, and we need to do what we can to support all who menstruate,” says Councillor Alf Filipaina, Chair of Auckland Council’s Parks Arts Communities and Events Committee.
The Period Place CEO Danika Revell agrees, saying that launching the partnership on International Women’s Day is significant.
