Menstrual products should be accessible to all from "summary" of Period Power by Maisie Hill
It is a fundamental human right for everyone to have access to the menstrual products they need. Menstrual products, such as pads, tampons, and menstrual cups, are essential items for anyone who menstruates. However, the sad reality is that not everyone has easy access to these products. This lack of accessibility can have a significant impact on individuals' physical and emotional well-being. Without access to menstrual products, individuals may resort to using unsanitary alternatives, such as rags or tissues, putting their health at risk. Additionally, the financial burden of purchasing menstrual products can be overwhelming for those who are already struggling to make ends meet. This can lead to feelings of shame and embarrassment, further stigmatizing menstruation. It is crucial for society to recognize the importance of making menstrual products accessible to all. By providing free or affordable menstrual products in public spaces, schools, and workplaces, we can ensure that everyone has what they need to manage their periods with dignity. This is not just a matter of convenience; it is a matter of basic human rights. Furthermore, increasing accessibility to menstrual products can help break down the stigma surrounding menstruation. When individuals no longer have to worry about where their next pad or tampon will come from, they can focus on their lives and goals without feeling held back by their periods.- We must work towards ensuring that menstrual products are readily available to all who need them. By doing so, we can empower individuals to take control of their menstrual health and well-being, ultimately leading to a more inclusive and compassionate world.
