Periods are a normal part of life, but there is still so much silence and stigma around them. A lot of girls and young people don’t receive the support or information they need to feel confident managing their periods or talking about them openly.
The Period Peers Programme is here to change that. It’s a project designed to help you and your friends learn more about periods and have open and inclusive conversations about them.
At Plan International UK, we've teamed up with Nurofen's See My Pain campaign to bring together a peer-led community of girls and young people advocating for menstrual health. Together, we're breaking down stigma, sharing knowledge and making sure everyone has the confidence to stand up for themselves and others.
As a Period Proud Peer, you'll lead fun, period-related activities with your friends and peers, helping to create a world where everyone feels supported and included. Will you join us? Sign up and download the Period Proud Peer handbook today.
What is a Period Proud Peer?
You can be a Period Proud Peer! Are you aged between 14 and 24? Want to host fun activities on periods and menstrual health with friends and peers? If so, this project is perfect for you.
Being a Period Proud Peer involves:
- Running fun period and menstrual health games and activities with your friends and peers. This could be in your school or college, a youth group or even your workplace.
- Championing a safe space where girls and young people can talk openly about periods.
- Helping other young people feel more confident about their periods.
- Smashing the stigma and taboo that still exists today.
As a Period Proud Peer, you’re not expected to have all the answers or to teach anyone. Instead, you can help others feel more confident to share their questions and find the help, information and support they need. And it starts with the Period Proud Peer handbook.

Designed by young people, the handbook will help you and your friends feel free and comfortable during your period and all month long. Are you ready to get started?
