Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu Instagram – I’m honored to be a part of @glblctzn in-depth discussions at #GlobalCitizenNOW to continue our conversation on ‘Global Menstrual equity accelerator’ to end period poverty! What is period poverty? Around the world, more than 500 million people who menstruate are affected by period poverty every year. More than one in ten people who menstruate live in extreme poverty- and more than 1 billion women and girls don’t even have access to safe and hygienic toilets. This chronic and structural inequity has both immediate and long term effects on women and girls’ mental, physical and emotional health and well-being, development and economic potential, and remains for too many girls a barrier to accessing quality education and staying in school. Let’s end period poverty and empower women around the world together! #GMEA #periodpoverty #globalcitizen #periodforchange New York, New York
