Periods shouldn’t stop anyone from moving their body, playing sport or feeling like they belong.
If you’re a person with disability who has periods, this is for you.
Together with Victoria University, Melbourne Australia, we’ve launched a national survey (co-designed with women with disability) to better understand how periods impact participation in sport and physical activity.
We already know the barriers are real. Our research found 78% of people with disability or a chronic condition have struggled to afford period products. Now it’s time to listen deeper and work together to change that.
If you’re aged 15+ and menstruate, your lived experience living with a disability matters whether you’re active, want to be, or feel shut out altogether.
Take the survey here by 27 March 👉 https://www.sharethedignity.org.au/advocacy
