Period poverty is a pervasive issue affecting individuals worldwide, where the lack of access to affordable menstrual products creates significant challenges. 1 in 3 women under the age of 25 struggles to afford menstrual products.  It goes beyond a financial struggle, impacting education, employment, and overall well-being. Those experiencing period poverty often face difficult choices, compromising their dignity and health. The issue disproportionately affects marginalized communities, perpetuating gender inequalities. Addressing period poverty involves not only ensuring economic accessibility to menstrual products but also fostering open conversations, challenging societal stigmas, and advocating for inclusive policies to create a world where menstruation is managed with dignity by all. In Thunder Bay, approximately 21,600 resilient individuals are navigating the labyrinth of poverty, and even more specifically period poverty. Picture this: each person contending with the daily struggle of securing menstrual products. These aren't just faceless numbers; they're our neighbors, friends, and fellow community members. It's time to recognize the real impact on education, work, and the essence of their well-being when basic needs become a financial battleground. Now, let's imagine a community that rallies together to shatter these barriers. How can we turn conversations into actions? How can we transform support into change? It's a call to action, Thunder Bay—a call to champion dignity, affordability, and inclusivity in every aspect of menstrual health. Join the movement, be part of the solution, and let's create a Thunder Bay where every person's journey is free from the chains of period poverty.
