Combating Period Poverty: How Unicorn Hygienics Supports Dignity and Access

Period poverty, is the lack of access to safe and affordable menstrual products. It can have a profound negative impact on education, work and overall well-being for individuals.

Fortunately, awareness is growing around the world. Scotland pioneered a government-funded initiative to provide free sanitary products in schools, a model now adopted by other European countries. This momentum extends beyond the public sector, with companies increasingly recognising the importance of period dignity by offering free products to employees and clients.
