Did you know more than 1 in 3 young people who menstruate didn’t feel prepared for their first period; 1 in 7 have struggled to access the period products they need; 1 in 7 are worried about their ongoing ability to afford them; and 83% of young people have tried to hide the fact they have their period from those around them. This can lead to poor health decisions, including using products for too long, using unclean alternatives, or ignoring symptoms that could be signs of larger problems.
As we collectively work towards welcoming more women and gender-diverse people into the AI field, access to period products is just one more step we can take to ensure we remove any roadblocks to their success.
You’ll find Menstruation Stations in all washrooms at TechAid 2022, and Amii is proud to be the first signatory of the Period Promise Policy Agreement in Alberta.
