What is Period Poverty?
Period poverty refers to the lack of access to menstrual products, hygiene facilities, waste management, and education, due to various constraints. This pervasive problem affects hundreds of millions of individuals struggling to gain access to necessary, life altering resources. Period poverty can lead to physical, mental, financial, social, and emotional challenges for those affected.
