A new film wants to make people angry about period poverty
Hey Girls has released a chaotic campaign film directed by Margot Bowman, which aims to rile up viewers as a way of driving action 06/05/2021 7:15 am
The lack of access to period products, known as period poverty, has come into sharper focus in the UK. Last year, Scotland became the first country in the world to make period products free to anyone who needs them and the UK ditched the ‘tampon tax’ in January. However, the picture remains bleak on a national and global scale particularly in light of the pandemic, which has caused a surge in the number of women and girls affected.

Psychological study from adam&eveDDB and PRETTYBIRD director Margot Bowman follows a girl caught unprepared for her period at school
A psychological study is at the heart of a new campaign by Hey Girls, the social enterprise founded by Celia Hodson to tackle period poverty. The idea, created by adam&eveDDB, revolves around a film called ‘Seeing Red’ which has been carefully crafted to evoke anger that motivates positive action.
The proposed dictionary definition of period poverty , as shown in the film, is a lack of safe access to period products due to financial or social constraints. Period poverty affects 1 in 10 in the UK and surged in 2020 during the COVID pandemic. In fact, a survey by the charity Plan International UK showed that as many as one third of 14 to 21s in the UK struggled to access or afford period products during lockdown.
