For many girls and women, menstruation can become a barrier to education, dignity, health, and participation in everyday life. Period poverty is not simply about access to sanitary products; it is also about affordability, information, safe facilities, and the freedom to manage menstruation without shame.
At SOREX-NIGERIA, we believe that addressing period poverty requires solutions that listen to communities and put dignity at the centre. When girls have access to menstrual products, accurate information, supportive environments, and safe sanitation, they are better able to remain in school and participate fully in their communities.
Ending period poverty requires more than short-term assistance. It calls for sustained investment, community awareness, gender-responsive policies, and solutions designed with the people most affected.
Every girl deserves to manage her period safely, confidently, and with dignity.
