My Project
Many menstruators, especially teenagers, struggle with period poverty, or the lack of access to period supplies and education. Young teen girls either have missed class time themselves or know someone who has missed class time because of their lack of access to appropriate supplies. The data makes it clear: Having access to clean and free period products helps menstruators stay in school and focus on learning.
Schools and teachers can play an important role in combating period poverty.
If a student enters class without a pencil, I provide them with a pencil so they can engage in our learning activities. We can adopt the same attitude toward period products.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
