A youth-led campaign is shining a light on period poverty.
Ipswich Period Rights, part of Jack Abbott MP’s Summer School, is working to raise awareness of period poverty and period stigma in the community.
This week, the group is running outreach activities to highlight businesses and community spaces in Ipswich that already offer free period products.
Charlotte Legrand, a spokesperson for the campaign, said: "It has been great to see how many businesses around Ipswich offer free period products.
"While this is a topic that is often surrounded by stigma, it has been really positive to see the ways in which the community has supported our campaign.
"Food banks, churches, councillors and local charities are already doing important work, and we hope to raise greater awareness of the support that is available."
The campaign is also encouraging more businesses and venues to consider stocking period products in their toilets.
People in Ipswich can support the campaign by following and sharing its social media content, which highlights locations offering free period products.
