Ensuring availability of menstrual products at schools and universities, and introduction of menstruation education to school curricula are the major consequences of changes to the Polish law advocated by organisations and individuals participating in Periodic Coalition, initiated by Dominika Kulczyk and the Kulczyk Foundation. On Wednesday, 14 June, representatives of the Coalition presented a draft bill aimed at regulating both issues to Members of the Polish Parliament.

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.

For the 12th time, the Polish Business Roundtable presented its awards to individuals who, through their perseverance, courage, and entrepreneurship, are able to significantly influence the economic and social reality around us. One of the awards, called the ‘Business Oscars’, was presented by Dominika Kulczyk, President of the Kulczyk Foundation.

‘Ignoring the issue of menstruation makes OUR BLOOD BOIL! Let’s change that together!’ – that's what we wrote two years ago, in the manifesto that inaugurated the formation of the Periodic Coalition. Since then, we have done a lot to counter period poverty.
