Period poverty poses significant dangers to individuals' health, dignity, and overall well-being. Without access to menstrual hygiene products, those affected often resort to unhygienic alternatives, such as rags or tissues, increasing the risk of infections and reproductive health issues. Additionally, the financial strain of purchasing menstrual products can force individuals to prioritize other necessities over their menstrual health, leading to feelings of shame, embarrassment, and exclusion. Lack of access to proper menstrual hygiene also hinders educational and economic opportunities, perpetuating cycles of poverty. Addressing period poverty is essential to safeguarding the health, dignity, and rights of individuals worldwide.

Raising awareness on period poverty is crucial to address the often-overlooked issue of individuals lacking access to menstrual hygiene products. Period poverty affects countless individuals worldwide, particularly those in marginalized communities, leading to significant challenges in maintaining basic hygiene and health. By shedding light on this issue, we can advocate for policies and initiatives that ensure access to affordable menstrual products, education on menstrual health, and destigmatization of menstruation. Together, we can work towards a future where no one has to compromise their dignity and well-being due to period poverty.
