The Australians who can't afford period products

from The Daily Aus · host The Daily Aus

More than three in four university and TAFE students have struggled to pay for period products, according to new national data.  Not-for-profit organisation Share the Dignity collected data from nearly 154,000 people for its “Bloody Big Survey”. Nearly half of respondents reported having a medical condition relating to their period (including endometriosis). 63% have a diagnosed iron deficiency. 91% of respondents have missed out on work because of period pain, and that’s just the beginning. In today's deep dive, we speak to Share the Dignity CEO Rochelle Courtenay about the report.Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Sam KoslowskiProducer: Orla MaherSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
