Why Cotton Reusable Pads?

Using cotton reusable pads for this campaign is a strategic choice for their environmental, health, and social benefits. Unlike disposables, they are biodegradable, chemical-free, cost-effective, and align with eco-friendly and feminist values, promoting sustainability, accessibility, and empowerment.

Periods should never silence a voice, end an education, or deny dignity. At JWP, we are not just handing out pads we are breaking cycles of shame, ignorance, and inequality.

We call on individuals, grassroots groups, institutions, and allies to stand with us. This is more than hygiene, it's a human rights issue.

Together, let's fight for menstrual equity and justice, because no one should be left behind for bleeding.

Periods Should Not Pause Potential

Menstruation should never be a barrier to a girl's education, dreams, or dignity. With the right support and awareness, every girl can thrive—no matter the time of the month.
