“Everything is so far away that weather can dictate that you can travel to locations to get access to the product,” Karissa Said.

“One of the Biggest Barriers for Girls Pursuing Education or Sport and Social Opportunities Or for Women Being Able to Work and Support Their Families is not Having Access to Period Products,” Kat Said.

“I think it’s really important for communities to come together to support the woman who don it has access to those resurces, and help them be able to go on live their life fully without having to be restricted based on not having the supplies that need,” Karissa Added.
