Menstrual insecurity and oridnary sexism : what are we talking about, what impact on gender equality?

Figures to know more about this issue : 

In France, 1.5 to 2 million people could not afford to buy sanitary protection regularly.

The Federation of General Student Associations (FAGE) shows that 30% of students say they need financial help to get them.

• 37% of 20-29 year olds have already had to give up periodic protection (29% of 15-19 year olds)
• 60% of respondents say they have missed school or work due to medical reasons related to their period

(Survey conducted in February 2021 by the FAGE)

Our actions :

In order to fight against menstrual insecurity, to promote gender equality and inclusion, the Feel Good and RSE teams are implementing:

• 12 distributors of sanitary protections, in partnership with Marguerite & Co, in the toilets of all school buildings to give you access to eco-responsible hygienic protections when you need them. This action is co-financed by the Brittany Region
• A round table on menstrual insecurity: what are the challenges in student and professional lives, on September 28 at 6 p.m. in Lecturer Hall 0.1 in Building 1
