Georgia lawmaker and Georgia Stomp push for menstrual equity and eradication of ‘period poverty’

The state of Georgia is one of 22 states that adds a special sales tax to menstrual products.

Items such as pads, tampons, liners, cups and period underwear are taxed at 4%.

That means women and girls pay at least an extra five dollars a month, an added cost that some people can’t afford.
