What is Period Parity?
 

For any girl, the onset of her period is a significant time in her life. At its heart, period parity is about dignity and choice, as it includes access to period products, accurate information, and supportive spaces without shame or stigma. Period parity gives girls the knowledge and language to understand their bodies from a young age, increasing their confidence and helping support safety in relationships. It helps girls ask questions, recognise what feels right, set boundaries and advocate for themselves as they grow into young women. Period parity also plays a vital role in relationship safety later in life. When girls are taught about their bodies in open and affirming ways, knowing their bodies makes it easier to recognise unhealthy dynamics and advocate for care, respect, and autonomy. Her body knowledge becomes a form of protection, uplifting her and increasing her self-respect.
