Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Menstrual health effects 50% of our population. However, without access to menstrual products - people are unable to participate in essential growth activities in life such as education/school and career. Menstrual products are not a luxury, but 25% of Canadians who menstruate are unable to regularly afford them as they are expensive. In addition, the more environmentally friendly products are often priced as premium products. Period poverty severely effects those that are already severely effected by other discrimination, such as the gender pay gap or the race pay gap. It is common knowledge that women are paid less for the same position compared to men, similarly people of colour are paid less for the same position compared to white people. Period poverty disproportionately effects women of colour the most. Our project makes environmentally friendly options that affordable, so that every single person that requires a menstrual pad, has one.
