Pobreza Menstrual, Período Menstrual, Menstruação, Saúde Menstrual, Higiene MenstrualResumo
O objetivo foi apresentar uma síntese da literatura sobre o tema "pobreza menstrual". A busca incluiu as bases de dados PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, SCIELO Brasil e Google Scholar como fontes. Pares de pesquisadores conduziram a revisão de acordo com as diretrizes PRISMA e avaliaram a qualidade das evidências utilizando a ferramenta Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Um total de 2.457 publicações foram identificadas, das quais 22 foram incluídas na revisão. O conceito emergente desta revisão sugere que "pobreza menstrual corresponde a uma condição multidimensional, simbolicamente materializada pela falta de produtos de cuidado genital, refletindo principalmente a vulnerabilidade psicossocial de indivíduos que menstruam, decorrente da privação de acesso a bens fundamentais necessários para uma vida digna e respeitosa." A idade e as condições socioeconômicas são os principais marcadores de vulnerabilidade à "pobreza menstrual". Uma ampla gama de questões explora o tema, concentrando-se principalmente no acesso, custo e disponibilidade de produtos de higiene durante a menstruação. Ao sintetizar os conceitos e achados dos estudos incluídos nesta revisão, foi possível confirmar que fatores socioeconômicos desfavoráveis são os indicadores mais significativos da pobreza menstrual. Embora o fenômeno da pobreza menstrual se manifeste como privação de bens essenciais e falta de dignidade humana, os instrumentos de pesquisa e as soluções propostas têm se concentrado predominantemente no acesso e fornecimento de produtos de higiene. Esse foco restrito oferece visibilidade limitada às questões mais amplas de desigualdade e injustiça social que fundamentam a pobreza menstrual.
