Poverty is defined as not having enough money to meet basic needs. Oftentimes we do not correlate a lack of access to feminine hygiene products as a lack of basic needs. Feminine hygiene tends to be a taboo topic that many people overlook. Here are some important facts that you should know.
500 million people lack access to menstrual products and hygiene facilities.
16.9 million people who menstruate in the US are living in poverty.
Two-thirds of the 16.9 million low-income women in the US could not afford menstrual products in the past year, with a half of this needing to choose between menstrual products and food.
A Seat At The Table has dedicated a portion of it’s services to tackling this issue. We will collect products year around to impact women and teen girls in our community. You can donate by sending a monetary donation by clicking “donate” or purchasing directly from our Amazon Wishlist.
At A Seat At The Table, we’re committed to creating spaces where women of color can heal, grow, and thrive. Our programming is designed to provide not just support, but real transformation—helping women navigate the mental and emotional toll of workplace challenges, societal pressures, and personal trauma.
Mental Health Support
We believe mental health is the foundation of true leadership and success. That’s why our programs provide access to mental health coaches, therapists, and peer support. Through group sessions, guided discussions, and community-building, we create a safe space for women to process their experiences and gain the tools they need to move forward with confidence.
The Cohort: An 8-Week Journey
Our 8-week women’s cohort is at the heart of our programming. This immersive experience is designed to equip women with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to advance in their personal and professional lives. Through expert-led workshops, mentorship, and deep reflection, participants walk away with a renewed sense of self and a clear path toward their goals.
This isn’t just another program—it’s a movement. A community. A commitment to investing in yourself and the future of women who deserve a seat at every table.
