New period poverty project at Dawson
蘑菇视频 is taking new steps this semester to raise awareness about聽period poverty聽and encourage more sustainable menstrual health options.
As part of this effort, five bathrooms across campus now offer free menstrual products as do some student offices, such as the First-Year Students鈥� Office. This initiative aims to remove barriers faced by students who may not always have access to these essential items, a challenge that can lead to preventable absenteeism and even lost employment opportunities.
Period poverty is rising in Canada and it is having a real impact on thousands of people who struggle to afford menstrual products each month. By making these supplies freely available, Dawson hopes to help reduce stigma, promote equity, and support student well-being.
In April, the campaign鈥檚 second phase will focus on sustainable menstrual products. Students will learn about the environmental and health drawbacks of disposable items and discover reusable alternatives such as menstrual cups and period underwear.
The project is being managed by the Office of Sustainability thanks to a donation to the 蘑菇视频 Foundation.
