  • Period poverty is a lack of access to menstrual products, education, hygiene facilities, waste management, or a combination of these.
  • People who experience period poverty are unable to purchase the menstrual products they need, and, in many cases, this means that they cannot go to school or work or otherwise participate in daily life.
  • It can make people feel shamed for menstruating, and the stigma surrounding periods prevents individuals from talking about it.
