This crazy good team not only acknowledges that periods aren’t taboo but also recognises the financial burden they can pose, and they’re on a mission to destigmatise periods and enhance accessibility to vital sanitary products like pads, tampons, and wipes in their community.
Their big concept involves crafting attention-grabbing baskets with vibrant packaging, each containing free sanitary products. The team aims to strategically place these baskets in public spaces and bathrooms throughout Shepparton. By making these essential items readily available in easily accessible locations, they are breaking down barriers and ensuring that individuals in their community have convenient access to sanitary products without any cost.
Kicking off their initiative, the team plans to partner with the Mooropna Community Centre. Their first basket is set to find a home in the Food Share Hub. By strategically placing it in a space where locals can access free food, they are not only addressing a crucial need but also integrating menstrual hygiene products seamlessly into community support services. This strategic collaboration marks the beginning of their mission to make essential sanitary products easily accessible for everyone.
