The Menstrual Product Project’s Purpose

• Get people talking about Menstrual health
  • Created a linktr.ee
  • Instagram with additional information
• To have at least 3 free menstrual dispensers in each building
• Create an interest survey

Problems we ran into

• Not having enough time during the semester to get everything done
• Scheduling conflicts with the Women’s Center and UMBC facilities
• The language that was used on the poster was not inclusive

So change of plans (instead)

• We created informational pages
• Put up posters to spread the message of free mental hygiene
• Got over 100 responses on the survey
• Garnered support for the student body and staff
