Finally, after months of preparations, the free period products pilot has now started!
For the next six months (till 1 April 2023), four bathrooms in the Ravelijn building and four in the TechMed Centre have been equipped with small cabinets offering free, sustainable and biodegradable period products from the Dutch brand Yoni.
With this initiative, we, a working group from the UReka student faction, the Student Union, EQUITY Group of P-Nut, CFM and the DE&I Team want to make the campus a more inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. Period poverty is an actual problem in the Netherlands today, which we want to tackle here at UT. Have you already seen one of the cabinets? Let us know what you think, by scanning the QR code or filling out the survey here. Do you wish to get more information, or do you have questions about this pilot? On the #PeriodT website you can find all about this pilot. And you can always reach out to Team #PeriodT. Feel free to share your experiences and thoughts on this also on social media using #PeriodT. This helps us evaluate the pilot and hopefully make free period products at UT a permanent commitment to social justice and inclusion!
