Some colleges in Alabama are making new strides in addressing period poverty on their campuses.
Auburn and UA recently launched pilot programs to provide these products for free to students and staff who don’t have access to them or can’t afford them.The effort comes as the price of feminine hygiene products continues to rise because of inflation.
Auburn has placed period product dispensers across its campus with hopes of expanding to more locations next year. “One in five students have trouble getting accessibility and are unable to afford these products, and four out of five of those students have said that they know someone or have missed class because of this lack of accessibility,” said Vice President of External Affairs for UA Student Government Affairs, Collier Dobbs.
