North Dakota Women’s Network promotes menstrual equity
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – The North Dakota Interval Undertaking is a program from the North Dakota Ladies’s Community aimed toward eradicating what they check with as “menstrual inequity.”
Olivia Knowledge, the Youth Motion Council Coordinator with the Ladies’s Community, mentioned menstrual inequity contains many issues, such because the social stigma round durations together with the shortage of gross sales tax exemption for menstrual merchandise.
“As a society, as a tradition, we have to cease inserting a taboo on ladies’s our bodies and on menstruation. We have to settle for that everyone’s completely different, everyone celebrates their our bodies in a different way, and we have to promote menstrual fairness in our state,” mentioned Knowledge.
Knowledge mentioned the group hopes to carry extra “menstrual fairness” days sooner or later.
