Period Poverty Awareness Week 2023
Throwing back to last week’s Period Poverty Awareness Week (22-28 May 2023), we would like to shed light on Period Poverty; that is the systemic pressing issue that perpetuates inequality and restricts menstruators’ access to essential products, education/work/opportunities, and/or proper sanitation facilities, leading to significant challenges and hardships, especially on marginalised communities.
In this article, our new Board Member Yassine Chagh (he/they) is particularly tackling the issue of period poverty affecting trans, non-binary, gender fluid, and intersex individuals. Yassine also attempts to provide solutions and best practice examples to work towards menstrual equity for all.
