Stealing dirty socks from laundromats, using old newspapers or adult diapers simply because they can’t afford period products – it’s the grim reality for one in five Australians every month. As Queensland becomes the latest state to offer free sanitary items in state schools, Rowdie gets the down low from journalist Bianca Faramkis about the country’s unknown poverty line and chats with Share The Dignity’s Rochelle Courtenay, who is fighting to end period poverty.
