Are the period products we use every day as safe as they should be? Toxic pesticide levels found in tampons 40 times higher than legal limit for water. Period products are currently regulated under the same legislation as cutlery and candles.
Join us at Manchester Metropolitan University for an informative and engaging event bringing together researchers, campaigners, and professionals from across sectors to explore this important issue.
Hear from speakers with industry knowledge, insight of research in this topic and lived experience and discuss how we can work more effectively together to drive meaningful change.
The event will also include facilitated table discussions, actionable next steps to take away, and plenty of opportunity to network and connect with others working in this space.
Whether you're a healthcare professional, academic, advocate, VCSE organisation, policymaker, or simply passionate about period product safety, it would be amazing to see you there.

Manchester Community Central: Period Product Safety Survey and the Role of a Community Organisation (Anushka Swannell)
Wen (Women’s Environment Network): National Perspective through Campaigning and Advocacy Methods (Zarina Ahmad)
Manchester Metropolitan University: The Role of Research and overall Period Safety and Care (Petra Kolic)
