When I was still in high school I went into the girls toilets one morning before classes started. I could hear this girl crying from one of the cubicles. When I asked her what was wrong she said to me āI just started my period. I donāt know what to do!ā I asked her what she meant and she said āMy mum canāt afford them. She said if this ever happened I have to go home right awayā When I gave her one of the pads from my bag she literally hugged me so tight. she was sobbing while saying to me Ā "Now I can stay at school thank you" That hit me so hard. I gave her my lunch money so she could buy her own. My cheese toastie means nothing to me at this point if I can give this one girl something she needs. Sanitary Products are not a luxury item. Period poverty is real. Iām so proud of my wee country right now.š
This needs to be International, starting YESTERDAY.
