The Empower Period Committee

Charlie is an artist living in the Cornish countryside. She runs a small immersive installation venue (The Womb Tomb) at festivals where The Period Vampires drain people and give out free period products, care, education and a safe place to talk about your period.

Leckhna is a medical student studying in London. She is passionate about menstrual justice, particularly looking at the cultural nuances of menstruation and the impact of conflict and forced displacement on menstrual hygiene. In addition, she hopes to improve the training and education system for healthcare workers with regards to menstruation and reproductive health, so everyone who menstruates feels heard, believed and supported by the healthcare system they seek support from.

I'm Libby, I am studying Sociology at Sheffield Hallam University. I am deeply passionate about menstrual justice; especially through a policy lens. This involves analyzing how politics impacts individuals and how their lived discriminatory experiences are shaped through political ideology/stance. Being on the EPC is incredibly important to me, it platforms a collection of powerful activists and encourages collaboration for systemic change!
