“Period poverty, which is not talked about often, is a real issue among our women and girls in our neighbourhood and society at large. One in 10 girls miss school during her monthly period as they are unable to afford sanitary pads. Menstrual health is a human rights issue and not just a health one,” said Jo Naidoo, Pink Drive co-ordinator.
The drive aims to collect much-needed essentials, and basic hygiene and pamper items for the less fortunate women and girls in families, schools, those living on the streets, as well as those on their journey of recovery in some healthcare facilities.”
Items needed are: sanitary pads, body wash, haircare items, deodorants, body talc powders, face towels, lotions, dental care products, body wash gloves, tissues and wet wipes, and pamper spoils (combs or brushes, hair accessories, lip balms, nail polish).
Collection points: Gate Ministries Church, South Coast Mammography Centre, Hibiscus Hospital, Hibiscus Scottburgh Hospital and KA Fitness Centre.
