Specifically, discussing Period Poverty which is an often-unspoken public health crisis, defined as inadequate access to menstrual hygiene products and education. Suzanne will explain how Period Poverty particularly affects lower-income families as they have less access to sanitary products, washing facilities, and waste management, including statistics, and describe how legislation and taxation affect the menstrual equity. Suzanne will share why she is passionate about this topic and how it led her to join other local businesswomen and the Junior League of Reading to rally in a grassroots effort to help their local girls and women.
