Show Notes
One in four teens in the U.S. cant afford menstrual products, leading to missed school days, especially for teens of color and those from low-income families. A new study highlights this issue. In Washington state, a law mandates free products in schools, but students at Prairie High School want more access. The Health Occupations Students of America club launched a donation drive to stock restrooms and create take-home kits. Theyve surpassed their goal, thanks to local donations and teacher involvement, reducing stigma and showing community support.
