Period poverty and day-to-day sexism: how can we improve gender equality on our campus?

Some facts and figures: 

In France, between 1.5 and 2 million people report not being able to afford to buy sanitary protection regularly.

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

• 37% of 20-29 year-olds have already had to go without period protection at least once (29% of 15-19 year-olds).
• 60% of respondents say they have missed school or work due to medical reasons related to their period.

Our actions:

In order to fight against period poverty and promote gender equality and inclusion, the Feel Good and RSE teams are implementing 12 sanitary product distributors, in partnership with Marguerite & Co, in the toilets of all school buildings to give you access to sanitary products when you need them. This action is co-financed by the Brittany Region
