The Menstrual Equity for Haitian Migrants Act aims to address period inequity and period poverty among Haitian migrants in New Jersey, who often face significant barriers in accessing menstrual hygiene products. The bill mandates the Department of Health (DOH) to establish a Menstrual Equity for Haitian Migrants Program, which will provide menstrual hygiene products at no cost to Haitian migrants who have been in the state for at least two years. The DOH is required to collaborate with community-based, faith-based, and non-profit organizations that serve Haitian migrants to distribute these products, which include sanitary pads, tampons, and menstrual cups.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the program will be funded through annual appropriations from the General Fund, and the DOH may seek grants from state or federal sources to support its initiatives related to menstrual health services. The DOH is also tasked with conducting outreach to ensure eligible migrants are informed about the program and must submit an annual report to the Governor and Legislature detailing the program's effectiveness and any recommendations for improvement. This legislation recognizes the importance of menstrual hygiene access for the health and dignity of Haitian migrants, who contribute significantly to New Jersey's diverse community.
