Period Revolution

WE ALL BLEED RED

The culture of shame around menstruation is harmful to all of us, and it’s time to come together as a nation to end the taboo.

GOGO Foundation is creating a digital platform to do just that. Through the collaboration of leaders, citizens, business, academia, and the medical profession we will work to create system change at the national level.

We honour those leaders creating better menstrual products, enabling access, improving education, and using creativity to end the stigma for our future generations.

This is a journey that needs all of us, and we’re proud to join a host of dedicated and passionate advocates.

Let's get this Period Revolution started!

A WORLD THAT CELEBRATES MENSTRUATION IS A WORLD WE WANT TO LIVE IN.

That night she took my sister and I out to celebrate at Sizzler which was a big treat for us! Looking back I'm really grateful for Mum's cheerful and loving response :)

I have always been a sensitive soul, but when I was crying uncontrollably for a whole week before I got my period, I knew something wasn't right.
Harriet

My entire experience was impacted by pain, heavy flow, inconsistent period arrival, all things that made it feel really difficult to develop a nurturing and comforting relationship with my period.

TELL US YOUR STORY

Our aim is to remove the stigma of periods so that the menstrual cycle is celebrated by all. And our first initiative is to hear from you! We want to collate your menstruation stories, so we can deeply hear and understand how menstrual stigma is affecting us all and what might be ready to shift.

We have discovered that many of us are really keen to talk about periods from menarche right through to menopause, and this is your chance. We invite you into the circle, to add your voice to the collective call for truth and social change. Follow our menstruation stories on Instagram @periodrevolution_au.

PERIOD INEQUALITY IN SA

By working closely with the SA Commissioner for Children and Young People we discovered that young people were missing out on school because they were unable to afford or safely access period products. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.

THE RED ELEPHANT

By the time my first blood arrived, I had been so acculturated in the menstrual taboo that I inherently knew it must be hidden. And I was right! I had a terrible experience in primary school that still haunts me.
