Let's work together to end period poverty
In a #PeriodFriendlyWorld, the stigma and taboos surrounding menstruation are history. It is a world where everyone can access the products, period education and period-friendly infrastructure they need. With one message, we are louder!
Many of us know what it’s like to lend a tampon or a pad to someone - anyone - who needs one.
It doesn’t matter if it’s your sister, a friend, or a complete stranger in the loo. It’s an unwritten rule that we always help out in an emergency, if we can.
What about a woman living in a refugee camp, who has had to flee her home with nothing? Or a little orphan girl who has never experienced the love of a parent? Or a poor family that cannot afford a pad? We could you help them out too, if you could?
Around the world, thousands of women, girls and people who menstruate live without access to the safe sanitary products they need.
So this Menstrual Hygiene Day, we intend to end period poverty, and share a better period with someone who needs it. Can you join us?
