ENVIRONMENSTRUAL WEEK OF ACTION

ENVIRONMENSTRUAL WEEK

19TH – 25TH OCTOBER 2026

We’re at a critical point for period product safety

We’ve reached an important moment in the fight for safe, sustainable and accessible period products.

Research continues to raise concerns about harmful chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in period products – while stronger regulation is still needed to protect women, girls and people who menstruate.

The evidence is building. Political attention is growing. Public awareness is rising.

Where the campaign is now

Wen continues to push period product safety up the agenda.

We have:

  • Responded to the Government’s Product Safety Framework consultation
  • Submitted a Freedom of Information request for the Government’s literature review on period product safety
  • Brought academics, researchers and health professionals together to call for stronger regulation
  • Continued to highlight new research and independent period product testing

Now we need the evidence to lead to action.

Toxic Tipping Point

Take Action Now!

Join us in putting pressure on the Government to make sure toxic chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals and forever chemicals in period products become a thing of the past.
