Let’s Talk About Menstrual Inequality.
đźš« Not every girl starts her period with access to pads.
â›” Not every school has running water.
❌ Not every community is safe enough to talk about it.
That’s the reality of menstrual inequality, and it’s happening right now in Ghana and Malawi, where many girls still miss school, fall behind, or are forced to improvise with unsafe alternatives simply because they can’t afford sanitary products.
At Triple A Foundation, we’ve seen how period poverty quietly robs girls of opportunity, not just monthly, but for life. Some girls stay home. Others drop out. A few even exchange their safety for something as basic as a pad. And still, we don’t talk about it enough.
Through our Pad A Girl campaign, we’re working to close that gap; one pad, one workshop, one conversation at a time. But let’s be clear: this isn’t just about hygiene. This is about equity.
Because when access to menstrual products, information, and support becomes a privilege, what we’re witnessing is another form of inequality, one that keeps girls behind while the world moves forward.
This Menstrual Hygiene Month, let’s stop treating periods like a private problem. Let’s treat them like the public issue they are.
âś… Menstruation is natural. Inequality is not.
🤝 Let’s change the story. Together.
