| Core Tip |
Period poverty is an important health issue, impacting social and psychological wellbeing. Issues are predominantly seen in low- and middle- income countries, affected by conflicts, disasters, and economic struggles. Evidence showed a link between menstruation and prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression. Whilst menstruation is a physical health issue, there are clear associations with mental health. Despite the global scale of period poverty, it is under-researched and is not well understood. Further research in this area will help to form healthcare policies and support for women and girls. |
