You live in a crisis zone like Gaza, Sudan, or Ukraine and armed conflict breaks out in your community. You flee your home. But then, you get your period. What happens next?

USA for UNFPA: Today is Menstrual Hygiene Day and we’re shedding light on the reality that 500 million women and girls face every single day as they manage their periods during violence, natural disasters, and displacement. Far too often, these women and girls have no way to access menstrual pads, clean water, or a change of clothes, leading to intense discomfort, isolation, and even infections. That’s where UNFPA Dignity Kits come in. Each kit costs just $15 to assemble and contains everything a woman or girl needs to manage her period in a crisis: pads, laundry detergent, soap, clothing, and more. For Menstrual Hygiene Day, we’ve set a goal to deliver 15,000 UNFPA Dignity Kits to the world’s most dire crisis zones — will you chip in to deliver deliver UNFPA Dignity Kits and lifesaving care to women and girls wherever they need help most?
