The award was presented to the Bennett sisters by U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.), who remarked on their demonstration of leadership in their collective home state of Alabama and ongoing commitment to help vulnerable young women unlock the American Dream.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI was thrilled for Montgomery\u2019s Brooke and Breanna Bennett as they accepted the Engage Woman Award for Non-Profit Leadership recently in Washington, D.C.,\u201d said Senator Britt in a social media post about the event. \u201cThe future is bright as long as we have leaders like Breanna and Brooke working to grow opportunity for others so they can reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n1 in 5 girls in the U.S. have missed school due to lack of access to period products<sup>1<\/sup>. The Bennett sisters are helping to alleviate this issue \u2013 starting in their home state of Alabama \u2013 and encouraging others across the U.S. to enact nation-wide policy change to help #EndPeriodPoverty. To date, only 22 states have passed a law to provide free period products to some capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt is an incredible honor to be awarded the Engage Woman Award for Non-Profit Leadership and be recognized among all the incredible Engage Woman Award recipients \u2013 not to mention speaking about an issue near and dear to our heart in front of change makers in Washington, D.C.,\u201d said Brooke Bennett, Co-Founder of Women in Training, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThrough Women in Training, Inc., we realize we&#8217;re doing something greater than providing period products to people in need \u2013 we are inspiring change in not just our home state, but across the country. Systemic change to help #EndPeriodPoverty is needed and is possible across the U.S. by supporting legislation like Congresswoman Grace Meng\u2019s Menstrual Equity for All Act. Together, we can all help #EndPeriodPoverty,\u201d said Breanna Bennett, Co-Founder of Women in Training, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>\nBrooke and Breanna have a long-standing partnership with Always, the leader in global menstrual care. This past year, Always organized the first-ever team of \u201c50 Period Heroes\u201d \u2013 WIT being one of them \u2013 to help fight period poverty across the country while donating 3.5 million pads to communities in all 50 states. Always Period Heroes represent people and organizations in each of the 50 U.S. states who have already made significant efforts to address period poverty in their local area. Together, they are helping to ensure people across the country have access to the products they need to stay confident while working towards systemic change for the next generation so period protection doesn\u2019t stand in the way of education and confidence ever again.<\/p>\n<p>\nTo find out more, visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.always.com%2Fen-us%2Fabout-us%2Fend-period-poverty&amp;esheet=53381321&amp;newsitemid=20230414005296&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=always.com%2Fen-us%2Fabout-us%2Fend-period-poverty&amp;index=2&amp;md5=52c430a7556633ee940a71ace3519093\">always.com\/en-us\/about-us\/end-period-poverty<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Footnotes:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><sup>1 <\/sup>1000 U.S. females, 16-24 y.o., Research Now \u201817<\/p>\n<p><b>About Always\u00ae<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAlways<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, the world&#8217;s leader in menstrual protection, offers a wide range of pads, wipes and liners designed to fit different body types, period flows and preferences.
