The ISSU wants to hear about your views on period poverty and period products in the education system.
From Tuesday 11th until Sunday 23rd May, we are holding a survey for students, teacher and parents & guardians to get their views.
Period Poverty is a serious issue throughout many second-level institutions, whether an issue faced by students who may be struggling financially at home, or as an issue of stigma in the school environment. The ISSU wants to make sure that anyone experiencing a period has access to adequate products and is comfortable both at school and at home.
The Period Products Working Group, led by the ISSU Welfare Officer, is eager to gauge exactly what second-level students might be going through - from embarrassment, to period product availability to their understanding of period poverty. This survey has been created to gauge your views, and has been created with support from Any Time Of The Month (ATOTM) and BeLonGTo.
The survey links can be found here or at the link below.
