Menstrual poverty in the public administration

Abstract

This article aims to make a feminist contribution to Public Administration, as this discipline needs to foster and embrace a social and humanistic perspective on feminist issues. Public Administration has traditionally remained focused on core topics and characteristics, reverting to a bureaucratic center that discusses national-level issues such as democracy, transparency, and corruption, often neglecting the feminist social aspect. It should serve as a genuine facilitator of women's issues, representing a true repository of problems and needs of both female and male citizens. The way the agenda on menstrual poverty was approached underscores a significant need for a restructuring of Public Administration. It must adopt a gender perspective and reconsider its structure to broaden its outlook to encompass women.
