Thank you @FinancialTimes for highlighting our work in Lebanon to tackle period poverty and end the menstrual stigma.

New partner alert! We’re working with Jigsaw to reach new communities in Lebanon. We’re delivering our reusable pads alongside menstrual health education to Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian mothers and daughters to foster conversations around menstrual health at home.

Period poverty is a particular issue in refugee camps during conflict.
“When you hear the war sirens in the middle of the night and you grab a bag and grab anything you can get your hands on, who thinks to pack sanitary products?” said period poverty activist @ellalambertnow.

Girls across the 🌍 tell me that stigma, inadequate infrastructure and lack of access to menstrual products disrupt their education.
I partnered with @micksheldrick @glblctzn to bring together changemakers passionate about breaking down these barriers. #RightsFreedomChoice
