Period poverty is real. Why is the EU still ignoring it?
Manage episode 485591099 series 3635836
Yesterday was International Menstrual Hygiene Day, and chances are, it passed without much notice. But something that affects nearly half the population, every single month, for around 40 years, deserves a bit more attention. Periods might still be treated like an uncomfortable secret, but they’re not.
And the most important thing isn’t the discomfort, it’s the cost, the stigma, and the silence that continue to surround them. But why is something as basic and essential still so expensive and so ignored in Europe?
Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.
