One in five teens say they struggle to afford period products, or are unable to purchase them at all, according to a national study. As a consequence, 84 percent say they’ve missed school, or know somebody who else who has.
Access to period products is an issue of gender equity, health equity and education equity. Students who don't menstruate have access to everything they need for health and hygiene in their school bathrooms - toilet paper, soap, running water, and paper towels or dryers, while menstruators are expected to carry products with them.
NCJW Minnesota has donated 110,000 pads and tampons to Minnesota schools and community organizations, while we work toward a public policy solution that will require and fund Minnesota schools to provide period products in school bathrooms. Help us cross the finish line in 2022!
