Her other priorities include addressing environmental justice in Philadelphia by increasing healthy outdoor spaces and enhancing community and recreation centers, enacting criminal justice reforms, giving a voice to seniors, and providing affordable healthcare to all Pennsylvanians.

As a state representative, introduced House Bill 1100 to allow eligible Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Women, Infants, and Children recipients to buy menstrual products if federally authorized.

HARRISBURG, June 26 -- Legislation introduced by state Rep. Darisha Parker, D-Phila., that would have the state make a greater commitment to menstrual equity for women and girls passed the House today.

House Bill 1100 would authorize the Pennsylvania departments of human services and health to apply for a federal waiver to allow people receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Women, Infants, and Children assistance to purchase menstrual hygiene products with program funds should such a waiver be made available to states. Current federal regulations for SNAP and WIC do not allow for the purchase of period products.

Champions menstrual equity, including access to free menstrual products in Pennsylvania public schools.

Darisha’s outspoken advocacy has been a catalyst for change. In the most profound example, she continues to champion a campaign to create Menstrual Equity in Pennsylvania.

Her unwavering commitment to helping women flourish led to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s insistence on allocating $3 million in the 2024-25 state budget for schools to provide free menstrual products in Pennsylvania public schools.
