Period poverty is the inability of many women and girls to access sanitary products due to financial poverty, stigma, cultural traditions etc. Some women have to pause their education or be confined during their period because of notions that tag them as impure and/or because of lack of access to sanitary products. Others have to improvise with unhygienic materials like rags or keep borrowing from other people. To make matters worse, sanitary products are taxed by the government because they are inelastic goods i.e. no matter how much they cost people still have to buy because it is a necessity. Women and girls should not have to pause their education or be prevented from participating in every day tasks because of their menstruation. Buy a product from the UFL online store today and help more women have access to free, quality sanitary products.
