South Africa strives to end 'menstrual poverty' ，by calling for free sanitary products for women
According to the BBC, according to data released by the anti-poverty NGO Borgen Project, A total of 7 million girls in South Africa cannot afford feminine hygiene products, and about 30 percent of girls have to take time off at home during menstruation because they do not have sanitary products after entering puberty.
South African young female entrepreneur Tamara recalled that she was brought up by a single mother, and her family was particularly poor from a young age, and she simply asked for leave at home not to go to school when she menses, and she did not know why menstruation hurt and uncomfortable. Nowadays, Tamara, who has a successful career, is actively campaigning to end women' "menstrual poverty" by providing free feminine hygiene products to schools in the Eastern Cape Province.
Thirty-one public interest organizations are working together to promote a "Menstrual Health Rights Bill," calling on the South African government to treat menstrual health as a human rights issue and provide free sanitary products to women.
