The present research seeks to analyze the scenario of taxation on sanitary pads in Brazil, considering the perspective of menstrual poverty as an obstacle to gender equity. To carry out the research, the chosen methodology was about the theoretical, bibliographic, documental review and the collection of data, starting from readings and analyzes made on articles, books, laws and bills. The text is divided into four topics, related to gender inequality, menstrual poverty as an obstacle to gender equity and redistribution as fiscal policy in the context of menstrual poverty. In the end, it concludes that the taxation of sanitary towels is one of the causes for the scenario of menstrual poverty, which corroborates the lack of access to menstrual hygiene items and that it is necessary to go further and make use of the extrafiscal function of taxes in order to recognize inequalities and carry out their compensation.
