Great piece from @NDPJulia @ziyanakotadia that can serve as a call to action to govts: "The provincial government must step up and, at the very least, provide free period products in all provincial workplaces and provincial buildings." #periodpoverty

"#InspireInclusion is to be inspired & make others be inspired to remove all kinds of injustice & discrimination. #Inclusion isn't a favour; it ensures justice," says Mohsina, International Commissioner of #Bangladesh 🇧🇩 #GirlGuides Association @WAGGGSworld✨️#IWD2024 #womensday

"Access to menstrual products is, unfortunately, not universal and period poverty – not being able to afford the needed menstrual products – is a concern worldwide. In one survey 60% of respondents said they needed to budget to afford menstrual products." https://t.co/nlWuPaunoA

🚻🩸 Access to period products in schools has improved, but finding them in public restrooms remains a challenge for 64% of teens. Let's raise awareness and work towards making period products more readily available for everyone. #PeriodPartner #universalaccess #periodpoverty

Great to see @BCFerries

And thanks to champions like @RobShaw_BC who see how important this issue is for advancing equity.
