A 19-state lawsuit filed this week accuses the Trump administration of depriving detained girls of menstrual products and basic care.
Just four years ago, in August 2015, hethen–Fox News correspondent Megyn Kelly after the first presidential debate of having"blood coming out of her wherever." The charge landed the once-taboo topic of menstruation smack in the middle of election coverage—and on the front page of nearly every major national and small-town newspaper in between. It even generated its own viral hashtag, #PeriodsAreNotAnInsult.
But at the border right now, there's no solace for young teens who might know little about what's happening to their bodies—yet have to summon the courage to tell a male guard and ask for pads, only to be denied or given too few to matter. Or have to manage their periods in over-crowded rooms where privacy is scant. And aren't even able to shower or wash hands or scrub clean stained underwear.
As a matter of policy, compassion and common sense, menstrual equity should be a no-brainer. But we are far from a nationwide mandate.
