In light of Menstrual Hygiene Day (May 28), INTIMINA and I Support The Girls joined forces to call on Congresswoman Grace Meng, a fierce leader for women’s rights, to sponsor a bill that demands free menstrual hygiene products for women and girls in schools across the country.
Period poverty is a financial burden that affects millions of women and girls, impacting females of all ages and ethnicities. This problem "especially impacts young girls in schools who are often bullied at the slightest notion they might be menstruating." The initiative is calling for "change and expanded opportunities for women of all backgrounds to be able to menstruate equally and we’ll look to Congresswoman Meng to lead us to that freedom."
