Period Pride - Changing the Game for Girls Everywhere.
Period Pride - Changing the Game for Girls Everywhere.
The Period Pride Campaign begins with a simple but powerful belief: menstrual health is not charity — it is a human right. Every girl deserves access to the menstrual materials, education, and dignity she needs to thrive, and this should never be an afterthought.
We work to mobilise menstrual health support across communities, ensuring girls have consistent access to pads, information, and safe spaces.
A core pillar of our work is the use of sport — especially soccer — as a catalyst for change. Through football, we engage boys, girls, and entire communities in meaningful conversations about dignity, inclusion, respect, and menstrual equity. Football allows young people to learn, connect, and challenge taboos in a fun, accessible and culturally familiar way.
Through football, storytelling, and music, we normalise conversations around menstruation and empower both girls and boys. Our work spans rural communities, cities, and global platforms — breaking stigma, uplifting voices, and promoting menstrual dignity everywhere.
We are Changing the Game for Girls Everywhere.
Saida’s Bleed by Thelma Mafukidze.
One Girl. One Pad. One Chance.
That’s all it takes.
Saida’s Bleed is a groundbreaking Young Adult novella exploring the realities of menstrual health inequity through the eyes of a young African girl determined to protect her dignity and pursue her dreams. Written by social-impact advocate and educator Thelma Mafukidze, the book brings visibility to the silent but widespread challenges faced by millions of girls who miss school or suffer harm due to lack of menstrual products.
Drawing from her experience as a teacher in high-density and rural school communities, Mafukidze brings authenticity and emotional depth to Saida’s story.
The narrative shines a powerful light on:
Period poverty and improvised menstrual materials
Stigma, taboos, and punishment linked to menstruation
The education barriers girls face
The importance of dignity, agency, and social inclusion
Saida’s Bleed is part of the broader Period Pride Campaign, which integrates storytelling, creative arts, community outreach, and music activism — including the release of the world’s first 31-track menstrual-health album — to dismantle menstrual stigma globally.
This novella serves as a call to action for policymakers, NGOs, educators, and community leaders to prioritise menstrual health as a matter of equity, empowerment, and human rights.
