"If menstrual products are being classified as anything but a necessity, that is problematic for how we talk and think about menstruation and make a case that access to menstrual products is something that is intrinsic to our ability to participate fully and fairly in society"

"For office workers, [menstrual policies] would ideally include: working where most comfortable within the office and the use of heat packs, where helpful; flexible working arrangements to reduce the impact of period pain; as well as access to paid leave."
