Ohio Menstrual Health Equity Project
The Ohio Menstrual Health and Period Poverty Information Project is a communitybased project to improve access to menstrual health products and reliable information. It is targeted specifically to youth ages 12+ and adults who menstruate and those who care for them. When people understand menstrual health, they are prepared to advocate for their own care and those they care for recognizing troubling conditions, leading to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
