Relief Work on Period Poverty

Affected by the consecutive crises in 2020, women and girls found themselves amid a silent disaster, the period poverty. The illogical increase in the prices of hygiene and menstrual products (a 500% increase) has limited 66% of adolescent girls living in Lebanon from buying menstrual pads!

Within the support of UK Sigrid Rausing Trust and MADRE, Fe-Male contributed to the national efforts led by national and INGOs to fight period poverty through distributing 890 hygiene and sanitary kits across Lebanon, from which benefited more than 1800 women and girls.
