“The benefit for a conference of this calibre is to help improve our thinking around this topic. We are here to learn, gain new perspectives, challenge what our thoughts on the topic are and most importantly deliver better outcomes for the people that this affects. Watch this space for more detail and insights. I can’t wait for day two.” comments Sir Brian Bell Foundation, CEO Ms. Bronwyn Wright. Together we can “Share the Dignity”.
DAY 2 Recap.
Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO Bronwyn Wright and QueenPads Founder Anne-Shirley Korave had a very successful day 2 attending the Global Period Poverty Forum in Brisbane, Australia yesterday.
Joining leaders across the world in menstrual hygiene today Queenpads Founder Anne-Shirley Korave presented during the GPPF Hour of Power session sharing information on the work she is doing all across PNG to tackle period poverty and providing awareness to the community on menstrual health and hygiene.
Sir Brian Bell Foundation and QueenPads are working together to end period poverty and are looking forward to the final day of discussions today sharing their knowledge. The conference on day two was all about the heavy lifting discussions and impacts on society.
“Today was all about the impact topics that many people don’t usually consider when discussing period poverty. The topics are simply frightening and concerning and when you consider the real-life impacts of sexualising, lost opportunity, and how those who menstruate are being limited in life, not just in PNG but all over the world, it solidifies the WHY? for me.” commented Sir Brian Bell, CEO, Ms Bronwyn Wright.
Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO Bronwyn Wright will join a panel discussion today that will discuss ‘what is next’ and how SBBF and the corporate community can be part of important discussions but most importantly how we can be part of the solutions.
Day Three Recap.
Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO Bronwyn Wright alongside QueenPads Founder Anne-Shirley Korave have had a very successful 3 days at the Global Period Poverty Forum in Brisbane, Australia this week discussing menstrual health and hygiene and addressing period poverty.
On the final day today, Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO Bronwyn Wright joined a panel discussion led by Shayne Gilbert discussing the investment in menstrual health joining speakers from other funding bodies and philanthropic organisations.
“Money is important, but there’s so much more that can be done to help communities in lots of different ways. It’s not about the cold call, it is about the relationship” commented Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO Bronwyn Wright.
“Women should not have to choose between feeding their families and having access to menstrual health supplies, our relationship with QueenPads ensures women have access to menstrual health supplies when they need them starting with our very own team at the Brian Bell Group supplying all our female team members and their families menstrual health supplies and providing menstrual health and hygiene awareness sessions. We are incredibly proud of this PNG first to break the stigma around menstruation and make a positive change in our communities and the workplace “commented Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO Bronwyn Wright.
Thank you to the team from Share the Dignity and to Rochelle Courtenay for hosting such an important event and raising a very important issue that affects women everywhere. We are grateful for the connections we have made over the last 3 days, and we can’t wait to see you all again. Hopefully very soon.
