Menstrual Health Equity in Lebanon
Project in collaboration with istggermany and Days for Girls Lebanon
The economic crisis in Lebanon increased menstrual product prices by up to 500%. With a lack of gender inclusivity in the emergency response from the government, Lebanese & refugee women experienced difficulties managing their periods.
In the month of August, we distributed:
50 menstrual kits in the Ibrahim Junction Minyara Syrian Refugee camp
50 menstrual kits to locals at Days for Girls Lebanon
We believe that the distribution of menstrual products alone doesn't ensure that people can menstruate with dignity. For this reason, besides the kit distribution, we also run a menstrual awareness program in Arabic.
hildashaus & ISTG are working together with Days for Girls Lebanon , a social enterprise run by local women working towards female empowerment through menstrual care solutions, health education & income-generating opportunities.
The Menstrual Health Awareness project aims to provide a first assessment of the multifaceted issues related to period poverty in refugee camps.
