Its #throwbackearlyhourssundaymorning Yes I’m making that a thing now. Remember this? #Pads4Dads @HeyGirlsUK
Today I'm debunking the common myth that Dads can't (or won't) get involved in talking periods with our daughters. Thanks to @HeyGirlsUK for bringing Dads to the table with all we need to know #Pads4Dads bit.ly/Pads4Dads

Glad to support this letter to @PhilipHammondUK - we urge him to extend his #SpringStatement policy & ensure NO child has to miss school b/c they can’t afford menstrual products
Let’s #EndPeriodPoverty 🙌❤️

Today I have joined with more than 70 MPs to urge the Chancellor to make period products free for everyone.

Thrilled @PhilipHammondUK has confirmed secondaries & colleges will receive funding for free menstrual products - but we need this to cover ALL children, incl those at primary school
Let’s see this commitment enshrined in law - let’s #EndPeriodPoverty for all children

It's great to see blokes like @Schofe and @Rylan discussing period poverty with @AmikaGeorge and @DaniRowley
Men HAVE a part to play in removing the stigma on periods. Attitudes must change. Get the conversation to be open.

And talking of campaigners, can we just take a moment to 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻@AmikaGeorge @RedBoxProject @HeyGirlsUK @bloodygood__ @OnTheBaw @Vvfabs @chellaquint. These incredible women have refused to accept period poverty as fact. Without them, things would just have remained the same.

Almost 70% of girls aren’t allowed to go to the🚾during school lessons
It's contributing to the shame+stigma they already experience when they have their periods
We want to work with teachers to ensure we end period taboos▶bit.ly/2tc7sNq

In 2018 we supported more than 250 young people, and only receive enough statutory funding for 20! Make funding for all young carers a priority, give them back their childhood, and a positive future @CarersUK @CarersTrust @BBCCiN
