Local Organizations Collaborate To Increase Access To Menstrual Products Among Low-Income People
A recent report surveyed low-income women in St. Louis and found that nearly two-thirds of them can’t always afford pads or tampons – often resorting to rags, diapers or paper towels. Host Don Marsh delves deeper into the issue of period poverty with Anne Sebert Kuhlmann, associate professor of behavioral science and health education at St. Louis University, who led the study. Also joining the conversation are Angie Weisman, executive director of Dignity Period, and Jessica Adams, executive director of St. Louis Alliance for Period Supplies and the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank.
