Millennium Fellowship Project: Period Doesn't Stop for Poverty
Period poverty is not only the poverty of an access to menstrual products, hygiene facilities, but also, a poverty of sex education as well as people’s consideration for menstrual issues. Besides relieving period poverty temporarily through direct donation of menstrual products, we also hope to alleviate the problem fundamentally by addressing sex education and arousing public attention.
