May 25, 2017-Congresswoman Grace Meng Introduces Legislation to Require Ingredient Labeling for Feminine Hygiene Products- To read more click here. Our own Holly Seibold was part of the panel discussion! |
Town Hall Statement (4/3/17):
Senator Peterson and Delegate Keam- My name is Holly Seibold and I am the founder of BRAWS. We supply homeless women in shelters and homeless girls in schools with undergarments and feminine hygiene products. I would like to address feminine hygiene products in particular- such as pads and tampons. Women and girls menstruate for 4-7 days each month. During this time women and girls need menstrual supplies to have the freedom to work, go to school, participate in sports, engage in social activities, and pursue their dreams. Without these products, women and girls are frozen- inprisoned by the biology of their own bodies. |
