“A strong majority of Americans recognize that period supplies are school supplies. Placing them in restrooms is a solid strategy to keep all students attending [school] when they are on their periods, to promote good health and hygiene, and to fight against stigma around a perfectly natural bodily function.” -Alliance for Period Supplies CEO, Joanne Samuel Goldblum An overwhelming majority of Americans agree that period products should be as freely available as toilet paper and paper towels in the restrooms of public schools and universities according to a study conducted by YouGov for Alliance for Period Supplies. Period supplies are school supplies. #EndPeriodPoverty #MenstrualEquity #PeriodSupplies

A new study conducted by YouGov for the Alliance for Period Supplies revealed that 77% of Americans agree menstrual products should be as freely available as toilet paper and paper towels in public schools and universities. Two in five people who need period supplies have struggled to buy them, a survey by U by Kotex found. The same study found that more than a third of people who menstruate had to miss school, work or a similar activity in the previous year because they did not have the products to manage their periods. No student should have to miss out on their education due to a lack of access to the basic material necessities they require to thrive. Period supplies are school supplies.

Without clean diapers: 🔹parents are unable to access child care, which require a daily supply of diapers; and, 🔹parents miss work or school. Diapers are essential for caregivers of young children to work because diapers are essential for child care. #EndDiaperNeed
