■ What’s up
Women, including girls, may not be able to use basic facilities such as toilets, depending on where they live and where they work and learn.
In some parts of the world, due to taboos associated with physiology, women during their physiology may not even be welcomed in public places. This means that women who are in physiology may not be able to go to school or work.
In India, one of the most populous countries in the world, one in four girls will not go to school when the first tide arrives.
For others, physiological poverty simply means that they cannot afford tampons, napkins, menstrual cups, menstrual pain relievers, etc.
■ How much does it cost to get physiology?
Every day in the world, 800 million women are in physiology.
The average woman has a total of 10 years to live. Physiology begins on average at age 13 and lasts until around age 53.
By one estimate, the cumulative cost of physiology-related products paid over a lifetime is about $ 14,680 (approximately 1.53 million yen) per woman.
In addition to the costs of these necessities, menstrual cramps can reduce working hours and reduce income.
■ What are the means for this?
So far, not much has been touched.
Scotland made history by offering free health supplies, but before that, Zambia allowed one day of health leave a month in 2015.
In France, the sales tax on medical devices was reduced from 20% to 5.5% in 2016. In 2016, the sales tax on tampons was abolished in some states in the United States and the movement is spreading across the whole country.
■ Why does it take so long
It was largely through social media that the movement on the cost of physiology came to the fore.

The increase in the number of women in power has also contributed.
