🩸Period Action Day
Advocating for Menstrual Justice and Equity
On Period Action Day, The Smile Outreach will take action in breaking period stigma, increasing awareness, and providing sustainable solutions for menstrual health.
📌 Key Activities:
✔️ Community discussions on period poverty and menstrual justice.
✔️ Good Cycle activations: Expanding existing Pad Stations and setting up new ones in underserved communities.
✔️ Training girls on reusable pad-making to foster economic empowerment and sustainability.
✔️ Policy engagement: Hosting dialogues with local leaders and educators on menstrual health in schools.
💡 Why This Matters?
🚨 37 million women and girls in Nigeria face period poverty, with many unable to afford or access menstrual products.
🚨 1 in 10 African girls misses school due to menstruation, affecting their education and future opportunities.
🚨 Menstrual stigma limits open conversations and reinforces gender inequality.
