The phrase, “It’s not merely about pads; it’s about dignity,” encapsulated the outcry from women’s rights advocates after a senior opposition figure dismissed a government plan aimed at alleviating period poverty. The initiative, involving $250,000 for sanitary napkins in schools, was deemed vital for countless girls missing education due to financial constraints. UWP's Guy Joseph criticized this measure as shameful, provoking a swift backlash from vocal advocates like Jessica St Rose, emphasizing the urgent need for accountability in addressing gender inequality.
