Brief
The Welsh Government has worked for a number of years on financial initiatives to tackle period poverty. Eradicating period poverty means ensuring that having a period does not lead to missed education, absences from employment or withdrawal from sport and social activities. Since 2018 we have invested around £12 million to ensure that children and young people and those on low incomes have access to free period products. Tackling period poverty remains a priority of the Welsh Government but it is time to go further. In June 2021 the Welsh Government published its Programme for the 6th Senedd. This Programme for Government includes commitments to embed period dignity in schools and expand our free period provision in communities and the private sector.
WG45402 WG31677
In October 2021 the Welsh Government published a draft Period Dignity Strategic Action Plan for consultation. The Plan sets out the Welsh Government’s approach to ensuring period dignity in Wales. We have adopted a broad definition of period dignity, which prioritises the eradication of period poverty but also aims to go beyond this to end any sense of stigma and shame associated with periods. The vision includes a range of experiences and connected policy areas that affect a person’s experience of having a period and the ongoing impact of periods on their life. The plan is due to be published in September 2022.
Project objectives: To achieve Period Dignity for all by 2026. To challenge the stigma and taboos surrounding periods and to increase understanding, acceptance and normalisation of periods by all. Requirements: • To design a logo for ‘A Period Proud Wales’ and to create a look and feel for all documents and marketing materials. • Show a range of period products – pads, tampons, cups. • Colours – red, happy for blood to be represented • Bold and proud feel • No female symbols or reference to gender • No flowers.
Logo Bilingual text showing the logo without the word ‘Wales’ this compliments and balances the Welsh translation, which doesn’t include the word ‘Cymru’. We believe this is a stronger logo which would be used with Welsh Government branding and hence negate the need for the word ‘Wales’ to be used at all. The logo showcases the four main period products using the secondary colour palette, which could be placed on a veriety of different documents.
