Menstrual equity is a worldwide movement focused on destigmatizing the menstruation experience and making menstrual products affordable and accessible. Menstruation is a normal bodily function that occurs to half the population on a monthly basis. 86% of individuals who menstruate have gotten their period in public without notice. 1 in 4 have missed school or work at least once due to the lack of access to products. No student should have their school day interrupted because they do not have access to menstrual products.
This lack of access to schools and other public spaces creates inequitable situations. Think about not having toilet paper available in the bathroom. When organizations make menstrual products easily accessible, individuals who menstruate are better able to perform tasks without the disruption and reduces fear and embarrassment of bleeding which often leads to feelings of shame. This page hopes to answer frequently asked questions about menstrual equity.
State and local governments recognize this growing problem and have taken steps to pass legislation. Currently, 17 states have passed some form of legislation to improve access to menstruation products. Dotstash Founder and CEO Mona Powell is a member of the AB367 Coalition in California. She and her team are actively working to make menstrual products accessible state wide.
AB367 – California’s Menstrual Equity for All Act, passed on October 2021, requires California public schools and universities to provide free menstrual products to students by August of 2022. For schools teaching grades 6-12, products are required to be free and easily accessible in every female, all gendered, and one male restroom. For public universities, products must be made available in at least one central location. You can learn more on our dedicated AB 367 page.
