Women of Destiny
We have made it our job to train girls to make their own reusable sanitary pads to keep in school.
Thousands of girls and women in Uganda have their periods every month. However, taboos associated with menstruation combined with an overall culture of silence and socio-economic hardships limits the ability of women and girls to fully and equally participate in society, undermining their overall social status and self-esteem while putting their health at risk.
