Periods around the world: How can we deliver menstrual justice?
2025-10-14 18:00 - 19:30 | Mission Theatre, 32 Corn Street, Bath, Bath & North East Somerset, BA1 1UF, United Kingdom
After hundreds of years of silence and stigma, menstruation is now a hot topic and old taboos are being challenged. Governments and other organisations around the world have been taking action, birthing programmes to end ‘period poverty’. Around the UK, it’s become commonplace to see baskets of period products in women’s toilets in workplaces, cafés, pubs and more. But millions of women, girls and trans people around the world still can’t access everything they need for their periods, and even more live with the stigma and discrimination still attached to menstruation.

How have civil society organisations stepped up to tackle period poverty in their communities? And what gets left out when we focus on period products? What else do we need to do to deliver menstrual justice worldwide? As part of the University of Baths Festival of Social Sciences and to mark the 50th Anniversary of our centre for Development Studies, our expert Minerva panel will tackle these questions and more.

The panel discussion will be one hour long, will include a free drink and some time at the end for informal chatting.
