I am passionate about advocating for women's rights, especially their right to have affordable options and steady access to period products. I am excited to network with professionals and leaders in my community to help make my passion a reality. My name is Katy Gromowsky and I am a senior at Notre Dame de Sion. I am currently in my school's Designing Real World Impacts class where we are learning to enhance our professional skills and learn to connect with potential community partners. I enrolled in this class because I wanted to expand my learning experience and better my communication abilities. My enhanced abilities of professional skills include how to send a professional email, how to speak in front of an audience, how to pitch a presentation, and how to be a collaborative team player. In this class, my partner and I are advocating for young women in high school who are experiencing period poverty. We have realized that these young women do not have the resources to be comfortable at school while on their periods. The topic of periods is so stigmatized that schools don't have period products in their bathrooms for girls. The lack of accessibility isn't the only thing surrounding period poverty. The cost of these needed products is keeping people from getting the necessities they need to go on enjoying their time at school. Going forward using my newfound knowledge and professional skills, I will be able to make sure that all women will have access to the period products they deserve.
