Haeba e monko o monate, monko o monate oa litholoana le lipalesa, joalo ka lierekisi tse monate le bopherese, thunthung ea apole le pula ea raspberry - eng kapa eng.

'Lekhetho le pinki'

Litheko tse thehiloeng bong, tse tsejoang hape e le "lekhetho le pinki," ke tefo e holimo ho lihlahisoa tseo ka tloaelo li etselitsoeng basali tse nang le phapang feela ea litlolo ho tsoa ho lihlahisoa tse tšoanang tse neng li etselitsoe banna.

Ka mantsoe a mang, ha e le hantle ha se lekhetho.

Ke "boemo bo kenyang chelete bakeng sa lik'hamphani tse ikemetseng tse fumaneng mokhoa oa ho etsa hore sehlahisoa sa bona se shebahale se lebisitsoe ho batho kapa se loketse sechaba mme ba bone hore ke moetsi oa chelete," ho hlalosa Jennifer Weiss-Wolf, 'muelli oa molao, motlatsi oa mopresidente oa Brennan Sekolo sa Toka ho NYU Sekolo sa Molao, le mothehi-mothehi oa Period Equity.

"Ke nahana hore litšusumetso tse mabapi le lekhetho le pinki li tsoa ka mokhoa o hlakileng ho tsoa boemong ba khale ba capitalist: Haeba u ka etsa chelete ka eona, u lokela," o tsoela pele.

Leha ho le joalo lekhetho le pinki ha se ntho e ncha. Lilemong tse 20 tse fetileng, California, Connecticut, Florida le South Dakota li phatlalalitse litlaleho tsa litheko tsa bong literekeng tsa bona. Ka 2010, Consumer Reports e ile ea totobatsa taba ena ka hara naha ka boithuto bo fumanoeng, ka nako eo, basali ba neng ba lefa chelete e ka etsang liperesente tse 50 ho feta banna bakeng sa lihlahisoa tse tšoanang.

Taba ena e ile ea hlalosoa hantle ho feta ka selemo sa 2015 ha Lefapha la Litaba tsa Bareki la New York le ne le fana ka tlaleho e mabapi le phapang ea litheko bakeng sa lihlahisoa tse 794 tse ka bapisoang le lihlahisoa tse 91 tse rekisitsoeng ho pholletsa le toropo.

Tsena li ne li kenyelletsa likarolo tsa lihlahisoa tse 35, joalo ka ho hlatsoa 'mele kapa shampoo.

Hape, ntle le 'mala oa tsona oa ho paka, lihlahisoa li shebahala ka tsela e ts'oanang.

Tlaleho ea NYC e fumane hore basali ba tobane le karolelano ea theko ea liperesente tsa 13 bakeng sa lihlahisoa tsa tlhokomelo ea botho har'a lihlahisoa tse 122 ha li bapisoa le thuto. Mme bangoli ba hlokometse ka nepo hore lintho tsena, tse kang ho kuta litelu le se nkhang hamonate, ke tsona tse rekiloeng khafetsa ha li bapisoa le mekhahlelo e meng - ho bolelang hore litheko li a eketseha ha nako e ntse e tsamaea. Le ha hona e le leeme ho bohle ba rekang lihlahisoa tsena, keketseho ea theko ea liperesente tse 13 e otla basali le banana ba tsoang malapeng a nang le moputso o tlase le ho feta.

Boiteko ba molao, leha ho le joalo, bo ka lokisa lekhetho le pinki. Ka 1995, mosali oa Assembly-ka nako eo Jackie Speier o ile a atleha ho fetisa sekoloto se neng se thibela litheko tsa bong tsa lits'ebeletso, joalo ka ho kuta moriri.

Hona joale joalo ka mosali oa Congressw, Spe Speier (D-CA) o ea naheng ka bophara: O ile a kenya ts'ebetsong Molao oa Phethiso ea Lekhetho la Pink selemong sena ho sebetsana ka kotloloho le lihlahisoa tse amanang le lekhetho le pinki. (Phetolelo ea pejana ea bili e hlahisitsoeng ka 2016 e hlotsoe ho e ntša komiting). Haeba bili e ncha e feta, e ne e tla lumella babuelli ba mmuso ka kakaretso "ho nka khato ea lehae ho bareki ba foselitsoeng ka mekhoa ea khethollo." Ka mantsoe a mang, ba ka ea ka kotloloho kamora likhoebo tse lefisang banna le basali litheko tse fapaneng.

Lekhetho la 'tampon'

Lekhetho le pinki ha se tefiso feela e amang basali. Ho boetse ho na le "tampon tax", e bolelang lekhetho la thekiso le sebelisitsoeng linthong tsa bohloeki tsa basali tse kang lipads, liners, tampons, le linoelo.

Hajoale, linaha tse 36 li ntse li sebelisa lekhetho la thekiso linthong tsena tse hlokahalang tsa ho ilela khoeli, ho latela lintlha tse tsoang mokhatlong oa Weiss-Wolf oa Period Equity. Lekhetho la thekiso ea lihlahisoa tsena lea fapana ebile le ipapisitse le khoutu ea naha ea lekhetho.

Joale? U ka 'na ua ipotsa. E mong le e mong o lefa lekhetho la thekiso. Ho bonahala ho nepahetse hore litampampi le mekotla li na le lekhetho la thekiso, hape.

Che, ho boletse Weiss-Wolf. Linaha li theha mekoloto ea bona ea lekhetho, le bukeng ea hae Linako li ea phatlalatsa: Ho emela ho lekana ha nako ea ho ilela khoeli, o fana ka litlhaloso mabapi le likhetho tse ling tse sa hlokahaleng haholo tseo linaha tse ling li nang le tsona.

"Ke ile ka bala khoutu e 'ngoe le e' ngoe ea lekhetho seterekeng se seng le se seng se neng se sa lokolle lihlahisoa tsa ho ilela khoeli ho bona hore na ba entse eng, mme lenane lena ke ntho e qabolang," Weiss-Wolf o bolella Healthline. Lintho tse sa lefelloeng lekhetho, tse thathamisitsoeng ka bobeli bukeng ea Weiss-Wolf le Healthline e latetsoeng, ho tloha marshmallows a Florida ho ea ho pheha veine California. Maine ke likoloi tsa lehloa, 'me ke peo ea soneblomo ea soneblomo Indiana le litho tsa sehlopha sa lithunya Wisconsin.

Haeba peo ea soneblomo ea soneblomo ha e lefelloe lekhetho, ho bolela Weiss-Wolf, lihlahisoa tsa bohloeki tsa basali le tsona li lokela ho ba joalo.

Lekhetho la tampon hangata le bitsoa ka phoso e le lekhetho la mabothobotho, Weiss-Wolf oa hlalosa. Ho fapana le hoo, ke lekhetho le tloaelehileng la thekiso le sebelisetsoang thepa eohle - empa kaha ke batho feela ba leng khoeling ba sebelisang lihlahisoa tsa bohloeki ba basali, lekhetho le re ama hampe.

Joalo ka ho nyolla lintho tsa tlhokomelo ea basali tse etselitsoeng basali, litefiso tse nyane tsa thekiso tseo re li lefang khoeli le khoeli ho tsamaisa Aunt Flo li eketsa nako eohle ea bophelo, 'me sena se ama basali ba malapa a amohelang chelete e tlase hampe.

"Taba ena e na le molumo oa 'nete ho batho," Weiss-Wolf o bolella Healthline. "Ke nahana hore karolo e 'ngoe ke hobane boiphihlelo ba ho ilela khoeli bo atile haholo ho mang kapa mang ea bo utloileng, joalo ka kutloisiso ea hore ho khona ho bo laola ho bohlokoa haholo ho bokhoni ba motho ba ho nka karolo ka botlalo bophelong ba letsatsi le letsatsi le ho phela ka mokhoa o hlomphehang."

Banna le basali ba metopa eohle ea lipolotiki ba utloisisa hore "moruo oa ho ilela khoeli," joalo ka ha Weiss-Wolf a o bitsa, ha o ithaope. Sehlopha sa hae sa Period Equity se ile sa isa makasine ena naheng ka bophara ka 2015 ka ho sebelisana le makasine oa Cosmopolitan mabapi le kopo ea Change.org ea ho "khaola lekhetho la tampon." Empa lekhetho la thekiso le tlameha ho rarolloa ke babuelli ba mmuso ka mmuso.

Mme hole teng tsela eo o lokelang ho e nka.

Mebuso e mehlano - Alaska, Delaware, New Hampshire, Montana le Oregon - ha ba na lekhetho la thekiso ho qala, ka hona mekotla le litampone ha li lefelloe lekhetho moo. Ho sa le joalo, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey le Pennsylvania pele ho moo ba ne ba iketselitse molao ka bo bona ho tlosa lekhetho la thekiso linthong tsena, ho latela Periods Gone Public.

Ho tloha ka 2015, ka lebaka la bobuelli bo eketsehileng nakong ea tekano, linaha tse 24 li hlahisitse mekoloto e lokollang lipads le litampon lekhethong la thekiso. Leha ho le joalo, ke Connecticut, Florida, Illinois le New York feela tse atlehileng ho etsa hore litlhoko tsena tsa bohloeki li se lefelloe lekhetho ho fihlela joale. Seo se boletse hore Arizona, Nebraska le Virginia li hlahisitse likoloto tsa lekhetho likampong tsa bona tsa molao ka 2018.

Joale, hobaneng ho nkile nako e telele ho ba le moqoqo ona?

"Boemo bo utloahalang ka ho fetisisa ke hore boholo ba baetsi ba melao ea rona ha ba ilela khoeli, ka hona ba ne ba hlile ba sa nahane ka eona ka mokhoa o fe kapa o fe o hahang," ho bolela Weiss-Wolf.

Ho etsa hore li-tampon le mekotla li fumanehe habonolo

Ntle le lekhetho la tšenyo ea nako, bobuelli ba tekano ea ho ilela khoeli bo hlile bo fumana matla a ho fumaneha ha lihlahisoa tsa bohloeki ba basali bakeng sa basali le basali ba se nang mahae literonkong le likolong tsa sechaba.

"Li hlokahala joalo ka pampiri ea ntloana," ho boletse mosali oa Lekhotla la Motse ka 2016 ha NYC e khetha ho etsa lihlahisoa tsa bohloeki tsa basali mahala likolong, matlong a bolulo le literonkong. Ho tlalehoa hore banana ba kenang sekolo ba 300,000 ba lilemo li 11 ho isa ho 18 le basali le banana ba 23,000 ba lulang matlong a bakhachane a NYC ba anngoe ke bili ena ea motheo.

Ho fihlella lisebelisoa tsena tsa bohloeki ho fa seriti ebile ho thusa basali le banana ho nka karolo ka botlalo sechabeng.

"Le tikolohong ena ea hajoale ea lipolotiki, e nang le chefo e ngata ebile e arohantsoe haholo ... ena ke sebaka se le seng [sa phihlello se ipakileng se feta karolo ea bonngoe ebile se na le ts'ehetso e matla mahlakore ka bobeli a tsela," ho bolela Weiss-Wolf.

Selemong sena, Naha ea New York e ile ea khetha ho fana ka lihlahisoa tsa mahala tsa bohloeki ba basali matlong a phomolo a banana bakeng sa limaraka tsa 6 ho isa ho 12.

“Taba ena e utloahala haholo bathong. Ke nahana hore karolo e 'ngoe ke hobane
