Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

In my Advanced Leadership Class, LDR 3215, we were instructed to choose a social issue that we felt passionately about. Women’s rights issues have been a topic of interest for me for a very long time, so I chose to research and address the topic of period poverty, which is an overlooked subject, despite its prevalence in our society. In my research, I found some very interesting, but heartbreaking information that sparked me to work with an organization called Period. UCF, a local RSO that provides period products to the local homeless population and supports The Menstrual Movement, designed to destigmatize periods and encourage equity.
