A mob of menstruation activists descended on the Education Department headquarters this week to demand justice for bleeders through a list of demands for K-12 schools.
Students with the group Period and others fighting for “menstrual equity†directed their angst at Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Monday to demand comprehensive education about periods for both genders by age 12, as well as free menstrual products for anyone who wants them, NOLA reports.
The roughly 40 students and a handful of adults donned matching yellow beanies, hoisted protest posters, and chanted slogans like “Hey hey! Ho ho! Period poverty has got to go!†as they presented Education Secretary Betsy DeVos with over 35,000 signatures of support for their cause on Monday, capping off a weekend of menstrual justice at Period Con in New York, according to the news site.
