In June 2023, Dignity had the honour of speaking at the Hine o Te Kura Symposium – the event was part of Tātaki Auckland Unlimited and the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™ leverage and legacy program and its purpose was to help to break down menstrual equity barriers to participation in sport and education.
We took the stage to speak about the biology of periods, period equity and inequity and how we can work together to create a new normal for periods across Aotearoa.
We were joined by some other amazing speakers – AWWA spoke about Ikura and Te Aro Māori world view, Organic Initiative spoke about periods and Sustainability, Education Outdoors New Zealand spoke about Diversity and Inclusion and there was a great panel of sports players talking about their personal period experiences! All topped off by an amazing MC Arizona Leger!
It was great to talk to such a large audience about periods in a normal and empowering way – it’s all part of reducing the stigma and shame and to further working towards creating Period Equity in Aotearoa.
