what:period poverty
Period poverty is the lack of access to sanitary products due to financial constraints. In 2017, a survey (Plan international) reported that 1 in 10 girls is unable to afford sanitary products; 1 in 7 had to borrow sanitary wear from a friend due to affordability issues; 1 in 10 had to improvise sanitary wear. Period poverty is not limited to those who cannot afford sanitary products due to limited finances, but also includes those who have limited access to such products which implies prolonged use of sanitary products leading to infection and lack of education. Access to sanitary products, safe hygienic spaces in which to use them and the right to manage menstruation without shame or stigma is essential for anyone who menstruates (Action Aid- UK).
Why: To provide sanitary kits to every adolescent girl.
Ø To protect and preserve the dignity of the girl child
Ø To break the taboo and stigma around menstruation.
Ø Normalize period conversations between adolescent girls, boys and parents.
Ø Empowering adolescent girls to fulfill their dreams without being held back.
Ø To educate adolescent girls on safe menstrual hygiene practices.
Ø Teach them how to calculate their periods so as to make informed sexual decisions.
Ø To provide sanitary products to every adolescent girl who cannot afford or lacks access to them so as to reduce associated health risks and exposure to abuse
Ø Immediate Goal: Produce and Distribute menstrual hygiene kits (Papilio pad and My First Period) to 10,000 adolescent girls by May 2022.
