The lack of access to menstrual health products is often a misunderstood or an utterly unknown issue in the United States. Menstrual health products are necessities but are not available in many schools, shelters, and communities to menstruators and students in need.
Period Project works with school nurses and principals to create an understanding of this pressing issue. Menstrual health products are one of the least donated items to shelters, causing more shame for those already struggling with homelessness.
20 in 18 states currently have a tax on menstrual health supplies. In addition to providing education, we advocate within our communities and to our legislators for free and equal access to essential period supplies.
We also partner with the Period Education Project to provide menstrual health education. Learn more atÂ
We need volunteers to help educate communities, schools, churches, and civic organizations about the lack of access to menstrual health products for the underprivileged and the adverse effects it has on our states and counties.
Schedule a Period Education Project (PEP) rally through our contact page to bring menstrual health education directly to your community.
Please help us provide this critical information and continue increasing knowledge, decreasing prejudice, and ridding the world of the social stigma that still clings to a healthy human function: menstruation.
