Unveiling the Hidden Struggle: Understanding                                   Period Poverty

Period poverty, a pervasive issue worldwide, disproportionately affects marginalized communities, compounding existing socio-economic disparities. This phenomenon describes the inability to access menstrual hygiene products due to financial constraints, limited resources, or societal stigma. Marginalized individuals, including those from low-income households, racial and ethnic minorities, and LGBTQ+ communities, often bear the brunt of this burden. The cost of menstrual products, coupled with systemic inequalities, leaves many without essential items, compromising their hygiene, health, and overall well-being. In addition to economic barriers, cultural taboos surrounding menstruation further exacerbate the challenges faced by marginalized communities, perpetuating a cycle of shame and silence. Period poverty not only hinders physical health but also has significant implications for mental health, education, and employment opportunities. Addressing this issue requires a comprehensive and inclusive approach that recognizes the intersectionality of factors contributing to the vulnerability of marginalized individuals.
