Check Out These Organizations Committed To Menstrual Equity

For most women, your period is not usually considered a monthly highlight, and you’re probably one of the lucky ones who can run to the corner store for feminine products on the fly. But imagine having to get by on your monthly cycle without easy access to pads, tampons or other feminine hygiene products. Even worse, imagine suffering from heavy bleeding and not having access to the supplies you need. Inaccessibility of menstrual hygiene products and lack of educational resources is the reality for millions of women. Thankfully, there are organizations committed to improving accessibility to menstrual hygiene products, sharing educational resources and establishing menstrual equity for women and girls around the world.
