RIGHT NOW,
500,000,000
GIRLS AND WOMEN IN THE WORLD HAVE LIMITED OR NO ACCESS TO SANITARY PRODUCTS TO MANAGE THEIR PERIOD.
SO TO AVOID THE DISCOMFORT AND SHAME OF LEAKS, THEY LIMIT ACTIVITY, REGULARLY MISS SCHOOL AND WITHDRAW FROM LIFE OUTSIDE THE HOME.
THIS LOSS OF EDUCATION AND FREEDOM HOLDS THEM BACK AND KEEPS THEM DISEMPOWERED.
AND IT KEEPS THEM POOR.
IT’S CALLED
PERIOD POVERTY
AND FOR THOSE THAT CAN AFFORD PERIOD PRODUCTS
EVERY SINGLE-USE PRODUCT THEY USE (ALL 9000 OF THEM OVER A LIFETIME) ENDS UP IN LANDFILL OR THE WATER SYSTEM.
9000
9000
WE BELIEVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS WRONG.
THE STATUS QUO IS TERRIBLE FOR GIRLS AND WOMEN & IT’S TERRIBLE FOR THE PLANET.
BUT WHAT IF,
FOR $20 ALL IN, EVERY GIRL AND WOMAN HAD 3 PAIRS OF PERIOD UNDERWEAR WHICH ENTIRELY REPLACED THE NEED TO USE ANY OTHER PERIOD PRODUCTS FOR 5 YEARS OR MORE?
