Period Poverty Doesn’t Stop for Conflicts
Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Month
More than two billion people around the world experience a period every month - but around 500 million cannot afford to manage them safely. Access to hygienic period products and safe spaces in which to use them is essential – as is our right to manage our periods without shame.
Learn how period poverty affects people in conflict – and what we can do to prevent it.

"The programme has given me the confidence to dream again"
Despite losing her daughter and home in a violent attack, Linda found the strength to rebuild her life. Through the Stronger Women, Stronger Nations programme, she is working towards a brighter future.
"Through the programme, I found strength in the shared experiences of my sisters. Their stories and support helped me heal in ways I never expected. I started reconnecting with my community, attending meetings and even listening to music again."
