Poverty has a unique and profound effect on the lives of those who have periods. Without a sufficient income, it can be difficult to maintain reliable access to period products. This impacts an individual’s ability to participate fully in work, school, and recreation. This has significant implications for one’s ability to earn an income, complete their education, and maintain their mental health. This episode, Andrew Mason and Noreen Remtulla are joined by Pamela Mellon and Scarlet Bjornson to explore the complexities of Period Poverty, and what folks in our community are doing to address the problem.
