#TheHomelessPeriod

It doesn’t bear thinking about… and that’s the problem

For homeless women, it really is that dreaded time of the month. With limited or no access to sanitary products, they're often forced to go without. This initiative believes that tampons and towels should be made available through homeless shelters, the same way the government provides condoms. To show your support, share the site, sign the petition, or donate a tampon.

Sign Petition


Petition

Shelters get an allowance every year to buy items like condoms, but still nothing for sanitary products. Our petition passed its goal of 100,000 and has since been raised in parliament

Making a Difference: Unveiling the Charitable Initiatives of the Adult Industry

The adult entertainment industry is often viewed through a lens of controversy and taboo. However, beneath the surface of this multi-billion-dollar sector lies a less-discussed facet: its charitable initiatives. Far from being solely profit-driven, various segments within the adult industry have actively engaged in philanthropy, leveraging their vast reach and resources to impact society positively. In this article, we explore the diverse charitable efforts undertaken by adult websites, adult webcam platforms, and other related sectors, highlighting how they make a difference beyond entertainment.

Adult Websites: From Awareness Campaigns to Donations

One of the most notable contributions comes from adult websites, which have utilized their platforms to support various causes. For instance, some major pornographic websites have launched campaigns to raise awareness about sexual health, offering free access to premium content for users who engage with educational materials about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and safe sex practices. These initiatives not only promote public health but also destigmatize conversations around sexual well-being.

Moreover, these sites have shown a willingness to support broader societal issues. Several adult sites have donated portions of their profits to relief efforts during natural disasters and global crises, demonstrating solidarity and compassion. Whether it's aiding victims of earthquakes and hurricanes or contributing to global health emergencies, these platforms have stepped up to contribute financially to those in need.

Adult Webcam Platforms: Personalized Philanthropy

The realm of adult webcam platforms presents a distinctive opportunity for charitable activities, with individual performers and their audiences playing a pivotal role. Live cam shows transform into platforms for philanthropy, where artists commit their earnings to various charitable causes for a certain period. This initiative ranges from bolstering cancer research to supporting animal shelters and cultivating a sense of community between the performers and their viewers. Such direct engagement facilitates targeted and transparent contributions, as many cam artists share their motivations or personal connections to the causes they support, raising funds and awareness for these critical issues.

The phenomenon of live cam shows being used for philanthropy underscores the potential of interactive online platforms to mobilize resources for good. It's a testament to how individuals within the adult industry leverage their influence and platforms to make a tangible difference.

About Us

We are Oli, Josie, and Sara. We met as interns at a London advertising agency. We found the issue made us think about homelessness in a way we hadn't before. We spoke about it with shelters like Spires UK, and later recorded an interview with Patricia – a woman who slept rough in Brixton for 6 months.


Get in touch and send us any photos of your projects. Contact us on twitter if you need a faster response.
