Menstruation is a natural phenomenon in women and girl’s life and yet millions of
menstruators are denied the right to manage their period in dignity and in a healthy
manner around the world. From taboos within religious practices to the modern
corporate taxes on menstrual products in the western world, menstrual health and
hygiene is linked to gender inequality, discriminatory social norms, cultural taboos,
poverty, conflicts, lack of basic services and access to health care and health
products. Afghan women and girls are not spared from these insecurities,
menstruation in the Afghan society is a subject that cannot be mentioned publicly
nor privately. According to the available data, Afghan women do not have access to
menstrual products due to poverty, market proximity, and lack of subject
knowledge. In fact, it is sadly documented that a girl misses one week of school due
to her menstruation. This pilot project aims to change the current approach on
menstruation and accessibility of menstrual products through stakeholders and civil
societies that run Human shelters, family guidance centers, family protection
centers and other health facilities by awareness sessions within the community,
trainings and economic empowerment on pads productions and various other
menstrual products.
The outcome of this pilot project is to give back the dignity to afghan menstruators
by allowing them to have access to products but mainly to understand that
menstruation is not a shame and also get familiar with what is available for them.
The activities are carried out in socially acceptable manner in order to reach remote
areas of Afghanistan once the pilot project becomes eventually a national project. [-]
