A new chapter

Meet Amy Collins

Amy's work with the Metropolitan Police, in magistrates' courts and family court shaped a conviction that body knowledge is a matter of fairness — and that it 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.”
