Knowledge is power. So is access to period care. In the past year, 24% of college students have experienced period poverty — making it harder to focus on finals, internships, or life-changing opportunities. Cora is committed to changing the cycle and celebrating the activists who are raising awareness about period poverty and reproductive health on campuses nationwide.
