Abstract

Period poverty is the lack of access to menstrual products, sexual and reproductive health education, safe waste management, and adequate facilities. Despite its being a public health issue and a significant concern for numerous Canadians, there is a lack of peer-reviewed research on period poverty in Canada. Existing Canadian research has primarily been conducted by non-profit organizations/charities or industry leaders for menstrual products, resulting in incomplete data. More research is needed to explore the menstrual inequities in Canada and their impact on the well-being of Canadians. This is a critical step to ensure the menstrual needs of Canadians are appropriately addressed.

加拿大的经期健康不平等和 "经期贫困"。

经期贫困是指无法获得月经用品、性健康和生殖健康教育、安全的废物管理和适当的设施。尽管经期贫困是一个公共卫生问题，也是众多加拿大人关心的一个重要问题，但在加拿大却缺乏关于经期贫困的同行评审研究。加拿大现有的研究主要由非营利组织/慈善机构或月经产品行业领导者进行，导致数据不完整。需要进行更多的研究，以探讨加拿大经期不平等现象及其对加拿大人福祉的影响。这是确保加拿大人的月经需求得到适当满足的关键一步。
