Sew On Period Care is a grassroots collective based in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Frustrated by commercial, plastic-laden, mainstream period products, one of their main goals is to educate people about healthier alternatives. The solutions for period care do not need to be bought but can be made inexpensively by sewing reusable pads. Sew On will encourage people to rethink their period management and consider starting their own sewing groups to make pads for their local communities.
Sew On wants to provide information to encourage as many people with periods as possible to switch to sustainable period options. They are in the process of setting up their Dunedin chapter and are looking for someone with experience in social media marketing! Join a team that is working to make a difference in the world with both waste minimisation and women’s health.
Sew On are looking for a digital marketer to help create/edit and send out information to the community to provoke interest in this project. The team have little experience with social media marketing, so you would have a lot of creative freedom within this role! This could look like, making ‘how to sew pads’ information sheets, creating educational pieces around menstruation, and/or advertising for our workshops/projects.
Sew On also has occasional public events - another way you could help would be to document those events and make posts to publicise them!
2 - 3 hours a week, working on your own schedule. This is a flexible role! we are meeting Mondays and that would be the bast day to catch up with us!
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
