Agree. I had to canvass every one of the 71 schools in my previous job on this issue because the @educationgovuk wanted stats. Guess what...nil ... most replied but all said. Its simply not an issue. Why? Because parents are ...well..busy parenting their daughters properly
My view: 'period poverty' is not a thing. Poverty is a thing. "Period poverty" is a made up issue to tick the "women's rights" box instead of talking about more difficult issues.https://twitter.com/JoDrant/status/1170618001923674114 …

Completely agree. I think it's an important issue - it clearly affects girls' health, self esteem, education etc - but it's just one facet of a wider problem of poverty. School uniform poverty. Nappy poverty. Winter coat poverty. Laundry facilities poverty.... It's all poverty.

Hadn't thought of it like that. Isn't it more that poverty affects women and girls in ways it doesn't affect men and boys?

I think it is a usual way of illustrating how intersectionality actually operates - girls suffer in poverty with the added burden of their biological reality.
