Gender equity can't be achieved until we alleviate period poverty. My daughter and I proudly volunteer for @Period_Packs who have donated over 1/4 million products this year. This new fund, part of @JustinTrudeau's @liberal_party platform is critical.๐๐ป๐๐ป@MaryamMonsef@telfordk
So far in 2021 Period Packs has provided over 260,000 period products to the Ottawa community while working to ensure #menstrualequity gets on the Canadian political agenda
Today, as part of the Liberal Platform a $25M "menstrual equity fund" has been proposed
Exciting times!
