JUSTICE LEAGUE COLLECTION
Join the Justice League in the fight to remove the heavy stigmatization often associated with menstruation and the lack of education surrounding period poverty. We hope to raise awareness of those struggling due to inadequate access to products and education, as well as provide supplies to those in need at Waunakee High School and in the community. Additionally, we would also like to break the stigma and embarrassment often associated with menstruation by making it more visible.
On November 4th from 3:45-7:15 PM, Justice League will be collecting menstrual products (tampons, pads, menstrual cups). Drop-off bins will be located outside the Main Office and outside Warrior Stadium. For those who would prefer to donate directly to the purchasing of products.
We hope to see you there! #EndPeriodPoverty. Menstrual Hygiene is a Human Right. Period.
