We are so excited that Boise Period Project is our Powerful Pint partner for November!
Meet Boise Period Project
We gather menstrual products to create period packs for those experiencing period poverty in Boise. We distribute and connect directly to the community and homeless shelters. We also aim to end the stigmas that surround both periods and poverty.
Goals
Boise Period Project aims to recognize that all gender identities menstruate, not just women. As well as you do not have to menstruate in order to be considered a woman. Boise Period Project cares about the education of reproductive health and menstrual hygiene of everyone they serve. The major goal being, ending the stigma of both period and poverty. Boise Period Project does not use the term "feminine hygiene" because they do not want to hide behind a euphemism about a natural bodily function. There are too many negative stereotypes about the homeless. Too often their humanity is stripped from them. They are people and they deserve to have their basic needs fulfilled no matter their circumstances.
