Combating menstrual poverty across Europe - an unseen hindrance to equal opportunities
An estimated 10% of half the EU’s population who menstruate are affected by period poverty, with a higher prevalence among people with a low income, refugees, young people, and people with disabilities.
As an organisation representing young people across Europe, we believe that ensuring no one is affected by period poverty is a crucial step towards achieving gender equality, and young people’s enjoyment of their social and economic rights, including the right to menstrual health.
