No more stigma. No more silence. No more stereotypes. No more discrimination. No more systematic barriers. No more harmful gender norms. No more violence against women and girls. It’s time to make women’s rights and gender equality a reality. #IWD2021 #GenerationEquality

Just some of our thought-provoking comment pieces @theHouse_mag #IWD2021 1/3 Amika George on how the pandemic exacerbates period poverty. "The mass closure of schools across the country has seen pupils in need lose access to their main supply." politicshome.com/thehouse/artic…

Being offered an MBE was surreal. I felt so lucky to be able to represent young people and everyone who has supported Free Periods, but the associations with empire made me reluctant. I wrote about my decision to accept it for @britishvogue 💜 bit.ly/3iyEh28
