Period Poverty
human rights
Period poverty is defined as a lack of access to menstrual products, hygiene facilities, waste management, and education, affecting many people globally. In the United States, 1 in 4 people who menstruate will experience period poverty at some time in their life. This experience can cause physical, mental, and emotional challenges. We are often taught that the topic of periods is a hidden reality, that those who menstruate are the only people who should be concerned. Periods are a natural occurrence and should not be seen as “dirty”. Period stigma can be seen as one of the major causes of period poverty. By not speaking up and educating ourselves, we are allowing for those who are experiencing period poverty to continue to suffer.
