You may not imagine how many peoples are experiencing period poverty due to social, economic, political, cultural barriers and many other reasons. But this thing happens at some corners of the world everyday. 

How Period Affects People?

Period poverty can affect people in variety of ways. It can make them feel embarrassed about or ashamed of their periods, and it can causes young people to miss out on school due to a lack of menstrual products.

According to the research, people unable to access menstrual products have reported using rags, toilet paper, and children’s diapers. Some people may also use menstrual products but overwhelmingly exceeding the proper using time. Using these alternative products or not changing it regularly will put individuals at higher risk of urogenital infections.
