Get involved in period education with Let Periods Flow

What is Let Periods Flow?

Let Periods Flow is a youth-led campaign by Anisa, from RECLAIM’s Full Time Fierce programme. It campaigns to ensure that schools are properly educating their young people about periods, as well as providing them with easy access to period products.

The past few years have seen some improvements in period provisions, including the government’s decision to provide free period products to schools. However, period stigma is still deeply entrenched, and hugely damaging. What’s more, the government’s commitment to free period products currently only extends to July 2025.

Let Periods Flow is a campaign which aims to:

• Put pressure on schools and MPs to ensure that all young people have access to period education
• Demonstrate how period education can be inclusive, stigma free and accessible, whether you have periods or not!
• Ensure all young people have access to free period products

How do you get involved?

You can get involved by asking your school to sign the Let Periods Flow pledge. By signing the pledge, schools are committing to:

1. Educate all students about periods
2. Provide easy access to free period products
3. Use language properly that is inclusive, stigma-free and accessible when discussing periods

On the Let Periods Flow campaign site, you can access resources to help you do this.

This includes a pledge to send to your school as well as a template letter which you can send to your MP to ask them to ensure that the government’s “period product scheme for schools and colleges” is extended past July 2025.
