According to a recent study, almost 20% of Canadian women have to make the choice between whether to buy an essential grocery item or period products. In addition, a recent poll commissioned by the LOVE YOU by the Shoppers Drug Mart™ program found that 14% of Canadian women have been forced to use unhygienic alternatives to period products like socks, rags, or old t-shirts.
In an effort to combat this sad reality, the Love You by Shoppers Drug Mart Program is fighting "period poverty" by raising awareness while inspiring action. The program encourages Canadians to donate period products or make a donation and to kick off the event, U by Kotex will be donating up to 50,000 boxes of period products to Food Banks Canada.
