You may be asking what period poverty is? Period poverty is the lack of access to sanitary products, menstrual hygiene education, toilets, handwashing facilities and waste management. This issue faces a large number of our nation’s population, that’s why it is important to gain education on the topic and work towards improving access to female hygiene products and services.
Period poverty affects girls across the globe, and in Australia, there are sadly women who do not have access to sanitary products and services, as well as safe and hygienic places to use them. All females, regardless of their demographics of age, race, gender and geographic location deserve a right to administer their menstruation without shame, embarrassment or stigma.
Credited Young Australian of the Year Isobel Marshall, put the issue of period poverty on the government agenda. The 22-year-old had made it her mission to work towards providing sanitary products to girls living in poor conditions overseas, as well as partnering with local Australian organisations to provide free access to pads and tampons for girls living in crisis centres and remote Indigenous communities.
From the very beginnings of Sanokil, it was vitally important to us to be able to provide a clean and hygienic way to dispose of women’s period supplies.
“Currently, 3.2 million Australians live below the poverty line and more than half of those people are women and young girls. It’s why services provided by charities like Share the Dignity are still needed. Share The Dignity is a local organisation dedicated to giving real, on-the-ground support to women experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence or doing it tough, by providing them with sanitary products.” https://www.sharethedignity.org.au/
