“You should have gone a lunch”
Have you ever experienced the frustration of being denied access to the toilet at school when you were on your period? Unfortunately, this is still the reality for millions of young students today.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are sharing a petition from Bright Futures NE, an organisation fighting for the legal right of students to access school toilets during their periods. We understand that schools have valid concerns about students missing out on valuable learning time or taking advantage of unsupervised breaks. That's why we propose a regimented approach to ensure that this right is implemented effectively.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their proposal includes clear policies that schools should establish, outlining the rights of students to access toilets during their periods. These policies will include provisions for timely access, ensuring that students can manage their periods without compromising their education.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it doesn't stop there. We believe that comprehensive education on menstrual health is crucial. By breaking the stigma surrounding periods and addressing taboos like period leaks, we can create a supportive environment where menstruating students are understood and respected.

Sign the petition today, it can be found on our stories and share our post.
