The JBS MUN Impact and GEO team is back again! When we initiated our menstrual product drive at our school to fight period poverty, we soon found that we had only barely scratched the surface of the topic. With 500 million people worldwide affected, period poverty poses a threat to our communities and world. In this presentation, we will discuss the history of our drive, the issues surrounding global period poverty, and our efforts to combat them in our community. Our work impacts over half of the SDGs, and we want you to help. If you are interested in learning more about pink taxes, period poverty, and how you, too, can make a meaningful impact (even during a global pandemic) join us for 60 minutes!
