Freedom4Girls UK

Our charity’s missions and aims are to support those who menstruate by challenging the stigmas, taboos and gender inequalities associated with menstruation through education, provision of menstrual health management solutions and actively being at the forefront of the wider campaign against period poverty.

We are based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, which is the primary area of our practice. We also have a number of projects that run in regions of East Africa, predominantly across Kenya and Uganda.

We are passionate about educating all people on the importance of normalising conversations about menstruation, from challenging stigmas and myths associated with periods, to providing education sessions that offer a safe space for healthy conversations about periods.

Equally, we place a focus on the importance of education on the range of different menstrual products that exist as well as promoting the use of re-usable, environmentally friendly products that we both create internally and which are also donated to us by our incredible partners. 

Creating a world that provides for menstrual equity and a reduction in socio-economic inequality also places us at the forefront of campaigns that highlight in the existence of period poverty and period positivity.

We envisage a world in which no girl or woman suffers from period poverty or stigma associated with their periods.

No girl should miss school because she is on her period.

No woman should be forced to miss work because she is on her period.

Please help us end worldwide period poverty, together!
