A right to menstrual health in a transition to a circular economy
This article provides a perspective on whether articulating menstrual health as a human right can support a transition to the circular economy. The article analyses a positive right to menstrual health enacted through free product legislation and further analyses how this right can address stigma, education, sanitation and environmental barriers to using reusable menstrual products. The article can inform policymakers of complexities in the uptake of reusable menstrual products.
