Joy and Justice Tour ends in Columbia linking period poverty to mental health
Original: Joy and Justice Tour ends in Columbia as advocates tie period poverty to girls' mental health
The Joy and Justice Tour concluded in Columbia, South Carolina, where advocates argued that period poverty — the lack of access to menstrual products — takes a measurable toll on girls' mental health. Speakers called attention to the shame, stress and missed school that many girls face when they cannot afford basic hygiene supplies.
Why now: Advocates are drawing fresh attention to menstrual equity by framing it as a mental health issue for girls.
