Central Alberta! We have fierce menstrual equity advocates here too!!!! Our Period Promise school pilot started in Red Deer in 2021!!! And the United Way’s Period Promise campaign has been collecting products since 2021!!!
Great piece from @NDPJulia @ziyanakotadia that can serve as a call to action to govts: "The provincial government must step up and, at the very least, provide free period products in all provincial workplaces and provincial buildings." #periodpoverty

"Access to menstrual products is, unfortunately, not universal and period poverty – not being able to afford the needed menstrual products – is a concern worldwide. In one survey 60% of respondents said they needed to budget to afford menstrual products."

Not being able to discuss a natural bodily function has serious consequences

🚻🩸 Access to period products in schools has improved, but finding them in public restrooms remains a challenge for 64% of teens. Let's raise awareness and work towards making period products more readily available for everyone. #PeriodPartner #universalaccess #periodpoverty

Great to see @BCFerries And thanks to champions like @RobShaw_BC who see how important this issue is for advancing equity. #periodpromise

Looks like @BCFerries has finally stopped charging for menstrual products on its ships. About time, and aligns with the excellent provincial Period Promise efforts by @HillNikki and others. Credit where it’s due though - way to go BC Ferries!
