What is period poverty?Updated 10 days ago

Period poverty refers to the lack of access to menstrual products, education and proper sanitation needed to manage periods safely and with dignity. It’s a global issue that can prevent people from attending school, work or social activities, and contributes to gender inequality. 

Period poverty can be caused by several factors, including financial barriers to menstrual products, limited education about periods, cultural stigma, and lack of sanitation facilities.
