Periods shouldn’t hold girls back

Plan International is working with Kimberly-Clark and its Kotex® brand to ensure girls and young women have equal access to essential care on their journeys through puberty. We’re contributing to a world where every girl has the support she needs to stay in school, pursue her dreams and reach her full potential.

A partnership that is creating real change

On any given day, more than 300 million women and girls around the world are menstruating. But far too many are left without the resources, support or safe spaces they need to manage their periods. Together, we are implementing programs around the world that:

  • Help girls learn about their bodies and their rights.
  • Train young people to act as leaders on menstrual health to guide their peers and start open conversations.
  • Make sure girls have access to the supplies they need to manage their menstruation.
  • Create period-friendly school environments, including bathrooms.
  • Implement community-wide programs that include boys, parents and teachers.
