Focused on alleviating the challenges experienced by low-income women and girls in accessing menstrual products also known as period poverty, The She Mission Initiative has enlightened female students on how to break the silence on menstruation and prevent non-sexual vaginal infections.
During its outreach programme held at Achievers Bright Secondary School, Bariga, Lagos State, the Initiative enlightened about 106 female students on how to take care of their bodies during menstruation and also distributed menstrual pads to them.
She lamented that many students don’t go to school when they are menstruating because they don’t have protection, adding that with what they were given, they could move confidently.Executive Director of the Initiative, Pearli Orji, noted that the NGO is poised to eradicate Gender Based Violence and also enhance the self-esteem and self-confidence of the girls.“We are just trying to make sure that women and girls have confidence as they face life,” she said.
