Abstract
La pobreza menstrual es un fenómeno discriminatorio de privación de derechos sexuales y reproductivos para las mujeres. Esta situación deriva de la pobreza económica, como bien refleja la siguiente cita de Lorenza, una joven de 24 años entrevistada por la ONG Period Spain (2021): “no siempre tengo dinero, pero siempre menstruo”.
Aunque las demandas de las mujeres han sido históricamente ignoradas, en la actualidad se está comenzando a ver un reconocimiento de las necesidades de esta mitad de la población, y paulatinamente se están tornando de interés político. En este sentido, cabe destacar la importancia de elaborar medidas integrales, ya que la pobreza menstrual es multidimensional; por tanto, las soluciones políticas deben ir más allá de lo material.
En resumen, la inclusión de la pobreza menstrual dentro de la agenda política es una apuesta por la promoción de la igualdad de la igualdad entre hombres y mujeres y por la construcción de una ciudadanía informada y saludable. Así pues, la implicación del Trabajo Social puede tener un relevante papel a la hora de garantizar el disfrute de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos de toda la población.
Period poverty is a discriminatory phenomenon based on the privation of women’s sexual and reproductive rights. This situation derives from economic poverty, as it is reflected in the following quote from Lorenza, a 24-year-old girl interviewed by the NGO Period Spain (2021): "I don't always have money, but I always menstruate". Although women’s demands have historically been ignored, nowadays, the recognition of the needs of this half of the population is beginning to be seen, and they are gradually becoming an interest in politics. In this sense, it is worth noting the importance of developing integral measures, since period poverty is multidimensional; therefore, political solutions must go beyond the material resources. In summary, the inclusion of period poverty within the political agenda is a commitment to the promotion of equality between men and women and to the construction of an informed and healthy citizenship. Thus, the involvement of Social Work can play an important role in guaranteeing the enjoyment of the sexual and reproductive rights of the entire population.
