New Jersey Menstrual Equity Sought For All College Campuses

A newly introduced New Jersey bill would require every public college and university to create and carry out a campus menstrual equity plan within a year.

Trenton, NJ – A bill introduced in the New Jersey Assembly would require each public institution of higher education in the state to develop a formal plan to improve access to menstrual hygiene products on campus. The proposal, Assembly Bill 4723, would place responsibility on college presidents to assess existing resources, identify unmet needs, and implement a campus-specific strategy aimed at achieving menstrual equity.
