The Young Professionals Bloomington group is excited to work with Girls Inc. of Monroe County to further their Period Project, an initiative aimed at addressing period poverty and promoting menstrual health awareness.

Did you know that:
-Nearly 1 in 4 students have struggled to afford period products in the US
-44% of teens report stress and embarrassment due to the lack of access to period products
-78% of teens agree education around menstrual health should be part of a school’s core curriculum, like math.

Together, we can support Girls Inc. of Monroe County in their work of destigmatizing periods and advocating for equitable access to these products.
