Sometimes it's easy to forget that there are women and girls out in the world who do not have the supplies they need each month for their period. This creates challenges, keeping them from school, work and from other obligations. In the developing world, periods have a stigma- no one wants to talk about it. In some cultures, the problem perpetuates even further by women being forced to act a certain way or do certain things during their periods each month. Did you know: 

  • In Rural Venezuela, women who are menstruating are forced to sleep in special huts
  • In the Islamic tradition women during their menstruation are not allowed to touch the Koran, can not observe fasting traditions and are not even allowed to pray
  • In remote areas of Nepal, until 2017 the practice of banning a woman during her menstruation to a special clay hut or separated portion of their house because it was believed that period blood was toxic. CNN did an article, reporting that several women died each year while staying in those huts. Although the practice was banned in 2017, women are still being forced into these huts and are still dying. 
  • In many southeast Asian communities women who are menstruating are not allowed to use the same water facilities as everyone else. 

To address this, Days For Girls International collects and makes sanitary feminine hygiene products for those in need. In doing this, they are able to help girls make it to school and other important events without worrying about their period. This non-profit organization goes beyond just distribution of products, they also provide menstrual health & hygiene education.
