#Media influences on pro and antisocial behaviour #women across development life span
Amika George, a first year History undergraduate at Murray Edwards College, started campaigning on period poverty two years ago. Having read that some girls in the UK were missing school because they could not afford to buy sanitary products, she decided to start an online petition lobbying the government to provide free tampons and sanitary pads for girls from low income families.
The #FreePeriods campaign has gained considerable momentum and support over the past two years and on Wednesday 13 March, the government announced a free sanitary product scheme for girls in secondary schools and colleges in a bid to combat period poverty.
