Taboo ANU Badger Drinks - Pad It Forward!

Join us at 4pm on Friday 20th September for our annual Badger Drinks. Your ticket includes a drink, some nibbles, and will provide an at-risk Australian with a box of pads through Taboo's Pad-it-Forward Program.

The "Pad-It-Forward Program" allows you to purchase period products on behalf of someone else, for as little as $7 per month. These partners support people who are at risk of period poverty. We celebrate the diversity of culture in Australia and appreciate that each of our partners deliver culturally suitable educational programs, alongside the distribution of period products where appropriate. Menstruation is a sacred practice which is celebrated in different ways by different people!

Period Poverty is a prevalent issue in Australian communities. Period poverty is experienced when someone does not have access to period products, menstrual health education, sufficient sanitation facilities (clean water and bathrooms), and waste management facilities to deal with their period.

At risk groups in Australia include young people, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people living in rural and remote communities, people from lower socio economic backgrounds, people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, people experiencing or at risk of domestic and family violence, and people with disability and complex support needs, among others.
