A quote from a Georgia school nurse on their experiences with menstruating students. Hygiene education is an important aspect of menstrual equity in schools.
We are welcoming Wish for WASH to the Georgia STOMP coalition. According to the World Health Organization, over 4 billion people lack access to safely managed sanitation, which is a statistic that disproportionately hinders the livelihoods of women, girls and other marginalized groups globally. In response to this reality, our growing mission is to amplify more diverse voices and inclusive innovations in the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and global health sectors through the lens of research, design and education because #everybodypoops
Georgia legislature recently approved $1.25 million to be distributed among school districts to provide free menstrual products to students! This month we will be sharing some information about this legislation & some perspectives from school nurses who have been instrumental in making sure students have access to period products at school. #endperiodpoverty
“Despite the ups and downs of funding levels through the economic downturn and the threat of budget shortfalls due to COVID, legislators continued to allocate money to address period poverty, resulting in the $1.45 million allocation in FY2022,” Cox said. “This demonstrates a commitment to Georgia’s students and saves local school boards from shifting money to cover the cost of these crucial supplies.”
Georgia STOMP is celebrating a belated welcome of the Dignity Pack Project, a group of public health students at Emory who are distributing period products to those experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. We are so excited to work with you!
