Virginia students are missing school over period products

Based on a 2023 survey, did you know about 1 in 4 teenagers are unable to complete schoolwork because they lack necessary period products?

Virginia law requires schools to offer necessary hygiene items like pads and tampons for freeā€”but without state funding, many canā€™t.
