Did you know people who menstruate use more than 11,000 disposable menstrual products in their lifetime?!
We want to help to break the Period taboo while introducing sustainable, affordable, environmentally friendly alternatives to mainstream period products.
Hosted by UAL Post-Grad Community, MENSTRual is a 2-day student-led event programme aiming to celebrate and raise awareness of the environmenstrual movement. Browse stalls, listen to period empowered talks, get educated on eco-menstrual solutions, take part in a pad-making workshop or just come along for a free bloody goodie bag!
- All staff and students welcome to this special internal event -
