My Project

I believe it’s essential to provide my classroom with pads and tampons to support the health and well-being of my students.

Point 1: Promoting Health and Hygiene

Menstrual hygiene is crucial for students’ health. Providing easy access to pads and tampons ensures that students can manage their periods without anxiety or discomfort. This helps prevent health issues related to inadequate menstrual care.

Point 2: Reducing Stigma

Having menstrual products available in the classroom helps normalize conversations about periods. By openly addressing this natural process, we can reduce the stigma associated with menstruation, encouraging students to feel comfortable discussing their needs.

Point 3: Ensuring Accessibility

Not all students have access to menstrual products at home. By providing these items in the classroom, we create an inclusive environment where every student can feel supported, regardless of their circumstances. This ensures that no one has to miss class or feel embarrassed when they need these essentials.
