Menstrual justice is about ensuring that no student faces educational barriers or indignity due to their natural bodily functions. By providing these essential supplies, you have helped create a more equitable learning environment where all students can focus on their education without worry or shame.\r\nThe impact of your generosity extends beyond the physical supplies. You have sent a clear message to our students that their needs matter, that they are supported, and that their education is valuable. This kind of support can boost confidence, reduce anxiety, and foster a sense of belonging in the school community.\r\nThanks to you, our library can now offer a discreet and reliable source of menstrual products to any student who needs them.
