Menstrual Equity Toolkit

Cover image for the page

Menstrual Equity Toolkit

Periods are NOT a choice, shame, or luxury, and menstrual health is a topic that is too often stigmatized and ignored. Menstrual Hygiene Products (i.e. pads and tampons) are a basic, absolute, and constant hygiene need - equivalent to toilet paper. Providing these necessities would improve the educational experience of many students by preventing them from missing important learning opportunities due to a lack of hygiene resources. It would also alleviate the financial burden and the stress from when a sudden need arises. Use this toolkit to advocate for free period products on your campus.
