Utah Period Project helps students become ambassadors for period product bill
“Each student ambassador at this event also sent out two letters urging their state senators and representatives to vote in favor of Utah’s House Bill 162.
The bill would require all Utah schools to provide feminine hygiene products in certain restrooms in all school facilities. The bill is the work of Representative Karianne Lisonbee of Clearfield in an effort to end ‘period poverty.’
‘We know that period, poverty is a real thing here in the states, including in the state of Utah,’ said McCormick. ‘We know that 7 out of 10 girls have either missed school or know someone who has because they don’t have period products.'”
