MAY 28, 2024
May 28th is World Menstrual Hygiene Day, a global celebration dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of menstrual health and hygiene.
Did you know that 35% of menstruator’s globally lack access to the essential products they need for a safe and healthy period?
This World Menstrual Hygiene Day, Flow Fairy is shining a light on this critical issue and offering solutions to make periods safer and more sustainable for everyone.
The Global Water Crisis and Menstrual Health
Imagine waking up in the morning, walking into the bathroom, and turning on the sink. For many of us, this is a daily routine. However, over 2.5 billion people worldwide lack access to clean water. This crisis disproportionately affects women and girls, impacting their health, hygiene, and overall well-being. Clean water is not just a necessity; it is vital for menstrual hygiene.
Lack of access to proper sanitation and period care products forces women and girls to make difficult and unhealthy choices during their periods. Many girls miss school during their menstrual cycle, falling behind in their education and missing out on critical opportunities.
