The lack of adequate access to period products.
Basic Need

Tax

Takes a Back Seat
When financial resources are stretched thin, tampons and pads are some of the first things to go.
Unfair Advantage
No student should have to miss school, no adult should have to miss work, and no person should have to miss out on daily life because they are unable to afford the supplies they need.
Higher Risk
When funds are too tight for period supplies, women have resorted to using rags, paper towels, etc raising their risk of infection.
