A new chapter

Meet Amy Collins

Amy's work with the Metropolitan Police and in the magistrates' and family courts shaped her belief that understanding our bodies is a matter of fairness. That knowledge should reach everyone, not only women and girls.

“Sex is a consensual choice. Periods are not. Basic menstruation education deserves its own space, not just a passing science lesson.”
