HGAED Hosts Wellbeing of Women Event
The academy hosted an event with the charity Wellbeing of Women yesterday as part of their #Just a Period campaign.
The workshop, facilitated by Ms Simon Hall from Adeno Gang, explored the issues surrounding menstrual cycles.
We were honoured that the Royal Patron of Wellbeing of Women, Her Royal Highness Duchess of Edinburgh, joined the session alongside Professor Dame Lesley Regan, a global expert in gynaecology. The session was also attended by Lady Harris, our sponsor.
The students were honoured to have the opportunity to speak so openly in front of inspirational women such as Her Royal Highness and Professor Dame Lesley Regan. The students are passionate about taking their experience of the workshop out to the wider academy community. In their words “everyone deserves this knowledge!”. A very proud day for Harris Girls’ Academy East Dulwich!
Janet Lesley, Chief Executive of Wellbeing of Women, said “we could not have wished for a more passionate, inspired and thoughtful group of young women.”
