NZ Period Poverty Initiative

Uber Eats teams up with Women’s Refuge on an initiative to make a difference for those facing period poverty in Aotearoa.

Kia Ora New Zealand!

You might have heard that you can Get Almost Almost Anything on Uber Eats. And while a period romance is not an option, you can find your essential period supplies.

Unfortunately though, many people struggle to afford these necessities.  

2 in 5 of those who menstruate in New Zealand have faced challenges accessing sanitary items due to cost^. And almost a quarter of those who menstruate in Aotearoa NZ have missed school or work because they have been unable to afford menstrual items*.   

But you can help. 

For every pad, tampon or liner you purchase on the Uber Eats app from  now until 31 August, 2024, a period product will be donated through Women’s Refuge for those in need. 

So stock up on your period supplies, and help tackle period poverty in New Zealand.

Who are Women’s Refuge?

Women’s Refuge is New Zealand’s largest nation-wide organisation that supports and helps women and children experiencing family violence. Their vision is for all women and children in Aotearoa to live free from domestic and family violence.
