// Campaigner //

Her campaign succeeded in 2021 when the tax on all period products was axed.
Laura also runs the Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) social enterprise Sex Ed Matters, dedicated to making quality and confidence-building sex education accessible to everyone, for which she won UKRI's Young Innovator Award 2023 and Women in Innovation Award 2024.
