Period.
Because...
24% of menstruating people miss school due to a lack of access to period products
Food Stamps, WIC, and SNAP benefits do not cover the cost of period products
The average cost per month for period products is $13.25 (almost 2x the federal minimum wage)** period.org
38% of low-income women report missing work, school or similar events due to lack of access to period products
An overwhelming 88% of women agree that period products are a basic necessity
These products, like food, are essential. Their use is integral to living a healthy and comfortable life month to month.
Keeping these expensive items stocked in shelters is putting products directly into the hands of those who need them most.
Making products available for free in schools prevent young girls/menstruators from missing school or being caught off guard.
We can use existing hotspots for community support and involvement to ensure that access to these materials is available freely, and in areas that people who might have need feel comfortable accessing.
