Women’s Equality Starts with Ending Period Poverty

Happy Women’s Equality Day to our fellow ladies! Today is the day we celebrate the women before us for their successes and the strides they made to break the glass ceiling for everyone to follow. Today we also celebrate the successes of those amongst us and our youth for the successes they will achieve in the future. This generation is filled with compassion and just enough ambition to make further changes and improvements for women in our society.
