According to a study conducted by Nearly 1 in 4 students in the United States struggle to afford period products, forcing many to resort to unsafe or unhygienic methods to manage their periods. Period poverty is real and happening NOW—and it is a barrier to education, health, and dignity.

That’s why Partners For Change is doubling down on its efforts to fight period poverty through the Pink Link Project, a grassroots initiative providing free period products—no questions asked—to students in partnering school districts.
