The Lawrence University Environmental Organization is introducing a sustainable menstruation project in collaboration with the Student Alliance Against Sexual Harassment and Assault (SAASHA), the Lawrence University Disability Working Group (LUDWiG), the Diversity and Intercultural Center (D&IC) and the Lawrence Food Pantry.
According to junior Lauren Kelly, the president of the LU Environmental Organization, SAASHA will be educating students on period poverty and how to use these products. Kelly also explained that LUDWiG helped make sure the project will be as accessible as possible by suggesting the D&IC as a pick-up location and an option for delivery. As there can be stigmas associated with periods, Kelly emphasized that they are not promoting shame and selected safe locations for pick-ups.
