Period poverty is when a woman's lack of financial resources stops her from buying menstrual hygiene products and thereby hinders her from pursuing her education, career, and overall living everyday life. Period poverty has a large stigma across the world and makes many women uncomfortable asking for help or looking for resources to help them. 

'Let’s talk: Health and Hygiene Seminars' are seminars hosted by The Girls' Wellness Initiative for underserved teen girls in the US to educate them on menstrual health, hygiene, mental health, and dating violence. these seminars include Q&A sessions with local doctors, activist guest speakers, and basic health curriculum to help educate these girls on their bodies and how to best take care of themselves.
