In the last of our three-part series on menstrual equity, highlighting our Period Project research study and forthcoming Period Project Report Cards, we report on schooling and access to menstrual products.

State laws requiring access to menstrual products free of charge represent a crucial component of ending period poverty and achieving menstrual equity.
