Local Newbridge Women have come together to highlight and challenge issues facing their community and beyond.
The group which is facilitated by Newbridge Family Resource Centre has been meeting online to prepare a project for International Women’s Day on Monday 8th of March. The theme for this year’s International Women’s Day is #ChoosetoChallange, and the group have decided to challenge the issue of period poverty in their community.
They are hoping to get the support of local businesses and community members to gather supplies of period and hygiene products to create period packs for women, girls and trans people in the locality who are at risk of experiencing period poverty.
