About The Event
An evening for fathers, uncles, godfathers, step fathers, any man with a girl in their life who is either about to start her period or already menstruating. Understanding how to support their girls in navigating their menstrual cycle with confidence and compassion.
Typically boys and men have had very little education on periods. There is a huge menstrual literacy gap which further reinforces the stigma and shame around menstruation. This event aims to reclaim the narrative around periods so that you, as a male figure in the home, can be a source of support in the home. You may not have first hand experience of periods, but your role is crucial in ensuring that girls can talk more openly and seek support if they need it. The period product world is fast changing with hundreds of new reusable products now available on the market, and throughout this evening, we will look at ways that dads can open their daughters eyes to the healthier, and safer choices that they can make.
