#TheHomelessPeriod exposes the unique menstruation problem homeless women face 

The new campaign shines a light on homeless women who need assistance caring for their menstrual cycles. According to the Guardian, approximately 26% of people in the U.K. who receive “homelessness services” are female. But in most shelters, “sanitary ware or any kind of period ephemera is scarce,” Vice reported earlier this year. Three women have a plan to fix that.

Menstruating is a problem homeless trans men and non-binary people face as well. Don’t forget the very high rate of homelessness among trans youth and trans people in general. Menstruating while homeless isn’t just a cis woman’s problem.
