Words from Amelia McBride:
"To grasp what it's like to live with period poverty and have limited access to tampons or pads, consider an apt metaphor: living without access to toilet paper for about a week every month.
... a 2020 survey of nearly 500 college-attending menstruators revealed a link between period poverty and poor mental health: compared to the subjects who had never experienced period poverty, subjects who could not afford or access period-care products were more likely to exhibit signs of moderate to severe depression."
