Why should you care?
Period Poverty impacts too many Jamaican for us to ignore. HerFlow is committed to ensuring that every Jamaican has the resources the need to have dignified periods.
Health and Dignity: Ending period poverty ensures that every woman has access to the hygiene products necessary to maintain her health and dignity, reducing risks of infections and social stigma.
Education and Empowerment: When menstrual needs are met, girls are less likely to miss school, ensuring continuous education and future opportunities for economic empowerment.
Economic Productivity: Addressing period poverty helps women perform better at work and school, contributing to the nation’s economic growth and reducing productivity losses.
Social Justice: Every Jamaican deserves equal access to basic necessities. Ending period poverty is a crucial step toward achieving gender equality and social justice.
