Three UK ad agency interns, Oli, Joise and Sara, who met while interning at BBH London, have launched a site called The Homeless Period. The site
advocates for homeless women to have access to sanitary products.
On the site, visitors can sign a Change.org petition which
aims to convince the British government to fund an allowance for homeless shelters to buy sanitary products for women. In addition, the site seeks donations and charity partners to help their
cause.
The interns have given the effort a hashtag, #TheHomelessPeriod and have set up social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.
So far, the petition has 6,272 supporters out of
the 20,000 they seek.
