How Covid-19 Affects Period Poverty

With everything going on in 2020, we understand that the economy has taken a hit and many are sick. But what some do not realize is that Covid-19 affects Period Poverty as well. Here's how.

1. Pandemic driven shortages have made it harder to buy feminine products

2. Companies like Amazon and Target are running out of pads and tampons quickly, making it even more competitive for women to get proper period care

3. Some teens who rely on school feminine product supplies have no access with schools being shut down.

4. Homeless shelters all over the country are now in more need than ever for feminine product donations.

Remembering that many of us are fortunate to still have access to feminine products while being comfortably in our homes can lead to more action to help those who are not.
