but (devils advocate) think period poverty is a shorthand for describing poverty amongst girls and women. It exists if their families are poor but also if they are systematically overlooked in terms of access to resources within the household.
This is performative nonsense by @GEOgovuk #periodpovertytaskforce. Point 3 "Ensure everyone can get period products when they need them". There are shops. There is money. There is no such thing as 'period poverty'. Just poverty. As in aid, cash is better.https://twitter.com/GEOgovuk/status/1171372416372740102 …

Sanpro costs pennies. If girls and women are in households where they do not have enough financial autonomy or care from parents to ensure they have these basic items that's not a function of household poverty but neglect and/or domestic abuse. https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/promotions/A32662900 …
