Why did you make this work:
Illustrations for Plan International for Menstrual Health Day, based on their research around period poverty. I created concepts around the fact that access to period products is a right, not a luxury. Stats pictured: 1 in 4 people who menstruate have had to choose between period products or food, and 82% of people who menstruate believe period products are too expensive.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
Digitally illustrated using Procreate.

How were your illustrations used:
My illustrations were used by Plan International on their social media pages during Menstrual Health Month, to promote their services and efforts towards ending period poverty and making menstrual products more accessible everywhere.
