Menstrual equity

Menstrual equity refers to the fair access to menstrual products, education, and facilities for people who menstruate, ensuring that menstruation does not hinder their health, education, or participation in society. It addresses the social and economic barriers faced by individuals, particularly in marginalized communities, where lack of resources can lead to shame, absenteeism from school or work, and health issues. Achieving menstrual equity involves advocacy for affordable menstrual products, better sanitation facilities, and comprehensive education about menstruation, promoting dignity and inclusion for everyone during their menstrual cycle.
