Period poverty: a journey through the pain, struggle and taboo

Unable to afford proper menstrual products, Chloe is constantly faced with anxiety and humiliation; this is not the first time this has happened and it won’t be the last.

'Absent' is based on multiple true stories and made in association with Freedom4girls. It aims to raise awareness around period poverty in the UK. Read more here: https://dazd.co/33n3Cl5
