Hi, I’m Emma, a 4th year medic at Jesus. I’ve been part of TCPP since it started and am so proud of what we’ve achieved so far. This year I’m going to work to see our university wins put into practice and continue to support a range of organisations outside of Cambridge. It’s been amazing to see how much the group has grown over the past couple of years and I can’t wait to see what we do next!

 I joined the Cambridge Period Project as I believe that reliable access to period products that do not provide a financial burden should be a universal right, but this is not currently the case, particularly in Cambridge, a city with such stark inequality. I am excited to join the project to enact structural change and to instil the core value of menstrual equity into both the university and the local community.

I believe it is important to enact self-sustaining, long term solutions so menstrual product provision is not impacted by the poor institutional memory of the uni.

The Cambridge Period Project is about striving for menstrual equity – a key feminist issue that transects so many aspects of our society – and we are working to alleviate period poverty in the community and university. Cambridge has infamously been branded the most unequal city in the UK, and you cannot visit without being viscerally aware of the drastically high levels of homelessness in the city. The university has historically not been a place that welcomes women/menstruating people (women were only first admitted to most colleges as recently as 40 years ago) and remnants of this still persist. We are on a mission to change this!
