Did you know? … Period poverty affects millions of women and girls in America, limiting access to basic menstrual hygiene products, education, and facilities. Many are forced to use unsafe materials or go without, leading to health risks like infections and reproductive harm. For students, the lack of supplies often results in missed school days, impacting their education and confidence. In the workplace, period poverty prevents women from fully participating, furthering economic inequality. Homeless and low-income women face even greater challenges, often choosing between food and menstrual products. This is more than a hygiene issue—it’s a matter of dignity, health, and equality.
