Period Poverty
What is it?
Period poverty is a public health crisis that is defined by a lack of access to menstrual products, education, hygiene facilities, and waste management. Women experiencing period poverty lack menstrual products and thus can't participate in school or work or other daily life activities. It can cause significant mental, emotional, and physical challenges due to the stigma surrounding menstruation.
Why Girls Power Central?
Girl Power Central seeks to alleviate some challenges through providing detailed brochures for girls and their families to share with their network of friends. We seek to increase the education and awareness surrounding menstruation so that national legislation can be made to address the unmet needs of women.
