Lebanon’s deteriorating economic situation has seen huge increases in the prices of goods, and menstrual products have become unaffordable for many. Unlike other essential items, menstrual products don’t benefit from government subsidies.
We define period poverty as:
is to break the silence and fight for menstrual justice.
Our work aims to tackle the challenges of period poverty faced by women, girls and people who menstruate in Lebanon.
No one should have to miss work or school because they cannot afford menstrual products.
No one should have to choose between basic necessities and menstrual items.
No one should endure shame or stigma around their period.
Accessible period care is a human right. PERIOD!
