Free The Period - Demand Bathroom Equality and End Sexual Discrimination

  • by: Erika Ruiz
  • recipient: Schools, Share Public Space, Companies & Nationwide Legislation

According to the U.S Census, there are about 2 billion women world-wide between the ages of 12 and 50. That means there are about 334 million women that are menstruating at the same time. Yet menstrual products are not readily available in shared public spaces, schools and most work places.

Most businesses provide free coffee, snacks, soap, sanitizer, drinking water, supplies, and toilet paper just to name a few. All of these items are considered essential to my productivity and health and are calculated into the budget of running the facility on a daily basis.

It is only logical that menstrual products should also be considered essential to my daily productivity and health care and should be treated as such.

We have our periods whether we want to or not!

Let's keep breaking down barriers that we as women have and demand nationwide legislation be passed to Free the Period!
