Mayor Proclaims Period Poverty Awareness Week in Carrboro
CARRBORO, N.C. – Mayor Barbara Foushee proclaims the week of May 12-18, 2025 as Period Poverty Awareness Week in Carrboro.
Approximately half of the population will have a period every month for decades of their lives. Period supplies are a necessary product, each month, for millions of people across the country, however national surveys and research studies report that one in four menstruating individuals struggle to secure enough period supplies to meet their needs each month due to a lack of income.
