Period poverty is the lack of access to sanitary products, menstrual hygiene education, toilets, handwashing facilities, and waste management. Every day, girls around the world miss school because they're unable to manage their periods. To end poverty we must break harmful taboos about menstruation, provide education, and promote safe sanitation. You can join us and take action on this issue here. In response to the study’s findings, Kotex will be donating products to after-school clubs and a network of more than 3,500 organizations. The brands hope that giving girls access to free period products while they’re out of school will help them develop hobbies and interests that build confidence and help them reach their full potential.
