Menstrual Inequity
Event Description
Public Health Madison & Dane County is partnering with Madison Public Library to host the third annual Period Party at Goodman South Madison Library in September! This year, the program is expanding from a single-day celebration to a multi-session series where youth and families can go in-depth to learn about menstruation, puberty, period products, and more. Each event is led by a speaker from Public Health Madison & Dane County, with additional activities and snacks offered, and plenty of time for questions along the way.
The third in the series of events is called Menstrual Inequity. Many inequities exist when it comes to education about the menstrual cycle, and access to period and reproductive health products. This session in the Period Party series is for all ages and genders. Public Health Madison & Dane County will lead a presentation that looks at data from the state and national level, as well as lay out some of the impacts of menstrual inequities. We'll wrap up by discussing together what we can do at a local level to advocate for change.
