Period Poverty Awareness Week May 23- 29

Together We Can Stamp Out Period Poverty

What You Need to Know

  • 1 in 4 women/girls do not have access to period supplies due to income

  • 2 in 5 girls have missed school due to lack of access to menstrual products. No one should have to skip a period for a period.

  • State and Federal food stamps or SNAP programs do not fund period products … because they are considered a luxury item!

  • Rags, sox and newspaper are substitutes which do not provide adequate protection or reliability

  • If they have to stay home during their periods, women and girls miss 20% of school days or work days per year

  • How can anyone break the cycle of poverty under these conditions?
