Menstruation is not a choice.
So why are people expected to pay for the products required to manage it?
In this episode of Raggedy Ass Bitch TV, we break down why feminine hygiene products should be free and accessible everywhere. Pads, tampons, menstrual cups, all of it.
We talk about:
Why menstruation is a biological necessity, not a luxury
How period poverty affects women, girls, and marginalized people
The real consequences of not having access to menstrual products
Why free period products are a public health issue, not charity
How other countries and schools are already doing this successfully
And why taxing or restricting access to period products is cruel and unnecessary
No one should have to choose between food and pads.
No one should miss school, work, or life because of a natural bodily function.
Period products should be free. Period.
