Menstruation Matters Belfast

Menstruation Matters Belfast We work to alleviate the issue of period poverty and reshape the conversation around periods But there is still a little more work to do.

Since 2016, we have been providing period packs to people in need, normalising the conversation on periods and campaigning for free period products in all toilets. Our period packs reach rough sleepers, women's refuges, disadvantaged young people, homeless hostels, food banks, refugees & asylum seekers, survivors of human trafficking, individuals and families of low income. If you would like to help us meet the needs of those experiencing period poverty, send the page a message and we can provide information on our donation points located across Belfast or alternatively, you can donate through our Go-Fund-Me link. Currently we are campaigning for free period products in all toilets through our campaign. We believe that any toilet that requires toilet paper, requires period products in exactly the same way. Our campaign and petition with 6000 signatories calling for free period products in all schools was finally approved by the NI Executive in December 2020. In March 2022, we had further campaign success and made history by spearheading the campaign for free period products in all public buildings, which led to the Period Products (Free Provision) Bill being passed and unanimously supported! We are calling for free period products in toilets everywhere; now in all private establishments such as cafes, restaurants, bars, gyms, hotels etc. We firmly believe all businesses and work places should provide free period products, just like toilet roll! Please join us in our campaign and help us make free period products in all toilets the norm - our menstrual needs really have been sidelined for way too long!

Great workshop with the Year 11 girls at Belfast High School! 💗

We talked all things periods - from normal and abnormal symptoms, to menstrual health issues, period shame and stigma, and how we can create period-positive attitudes at school, home and in society.

We finished with some empowering period pledges, with the girls pledging to take more rest during our periods, speaking with boys sooner about the realities of periods, helping younger pupils feel more comfortable if they need support, moving away from using code words, and speaking up or going to the doctor when something doesn’t feel right.

Such an open, honest and empowering discussion - thank you to everyone who took part! 🩷

Join us for a gentle evening of beginner-friendly yoga, mindful movement, and honouring the body 🧘‍♀️✨

Led by our volunteer and yoga teacher, Sarah-Louise Sarah-Louise maskey, we’ll slow down, turn inward, and awaken the quiet wisdom of the body. Through gentle movement, breath and intention, we’ll create space to listen to our inner knowing, honour our feminine energy, and reconnect with a little everyday magic.

We’ll gather beneath the energy of sisterhood for an empowering women’s circle — sharing, reflecting and creating a little ritual together. We’ll close by writing a letter to our wombs, offering words of gratitude, love and reverence to the mysterious, powerful bodies we inhabit 💫

You’ll be welcomed with treats, have an opportunity to buy some merch and meet new like-minded people.

We encoruage witchy, whimsy attire - it’s halloween eve after all 🧙‍♀️✨

CAMPAIGN WIN 💥 schools will be allowed to wear trousers at school 📣

Finally Paul Givan has come to his senses after public pressure. The fact this was even a thing is beyond us.

We played a part in creating that pressure, meeting with the Education Committee to share evidence from our work with young people in schools, highlighting how school uniform policies can hold pupils back - esp when they’re on their period.

Well done to everyone else who kept up the pressure - esp school students 👏

Another win for young people, and another win for period equality ❤️
