Bloody Activist

Bloody Activist takes us into the world of London-based Gabby Edlin, who set up Bloody Good Period to collect period supplies for refugees, asylum seekers and those who can’t afford them. What started as a whip-round amongst family and friends on Facebook soon ballooned into a storage locker full of pads and a social media campaign for donations fuelled by Gabby’s sense of humour and determination. Bloody Activist reveals what it takes to run a grassroots social activism campaign in the 21st century, and forces us to think about how something as seemingly small as a sanitary pad can make the world of difference to the women and girls who wouldn’t otherwise have access to them.
