END PERIOD POVERTY TODAY
Did You Know
-
800 million people around the world menstruate each day
-
As many as 500 million lack menstrual products and hygienic bathroom facilities
-
Women without access to menstrual products resort to unhygienic alternatives which can lead to serious health problems and increased risk of infection
-
Stigmatization and shame about menstruation can lead to social isolation as well as depression, abuse, neglect and sexual exploitation.
-
Lack of access to menstrual products causes women and girls to miss work and education, with 1 in 10 girls in Africa missing school because of their period
-
As part of our period poverty initiative, The Ida Lee Project is providing menstrual products and education to students in the DRC, helping girls stay in school and recoup 3 months of school every year.
Help us make a difference for women and girls in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
