Two-thirds of women admit they have found themselves in a situation where they did not have access to sanitary pads or tampons while in school when they were on their period, a survey commissioned by the Kulczyk Foundation found. Nearly the same percentage of people in Poland support free access to menstrual products in schools.
The initiative to collect 100,000 signatures on behalf of the Periodic Coalition was announced by Dominika Kulczyk during the Congress of Women. The first Polish draft law on menstruation is to be submitted to the parliament of Poland in the form of a citizens' legislative initiative. The Periodic Coalition also appealed to women's communities for support.
The second edition of the "Sanitary pads at school for every girl" programme, implemented by the Kulczyk Foundation and the Rossmann brand, has started. This time, the program will cover over 220 schools from all over Poland. Thanks to us, students will have free access to sanitary pads throughout the school year 2022/2023.
The Kulczyk Foundation was recruiting for the 7th edition of the Yellow Plate program. The Yellow Plate is the largest non-governmental child nutrition support system in Poland. which also promotes gender equality in the kitchen. The 7th edition of the program will start on September 1, 2022, and last until August 31, 2023. Recruitment ended on August 19.
