Did you know that 2 in 5 people with periods struggle to afford the period supplies they need? We’re joining forces with @periodsupplies for their sixth annual Period Poverty Awareness Week (May 12-18) to raise awareness, start conversations, and advocate for change. #EndPeriodPoverty.
No one should have to miss school or work because they can’t afford period products.
During their sixth annual Period Poverty Awareness Week, we’re teaming up with @periodsupplies to break the cycle and ensure that all people have access to the period products they need to thrive.
Together, we can #EndtheCycle.

A poll conducted by YouGov for the Alliance for Period Supplies found that 76.5 percent of those surveyed agreed with a statement that menstrual supplies like pads and tampons should be freely available in these settings.
