On Wednesday, a Summit addressing period poverty was held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Themed “Innovative Solutions to Combat Period Poverty in Nigeria” and organised by Safety For Every Girl (SFEG), the summit coincided with Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day 2024.
Period poverty is a widespread health concern that describes the inaccessibility to menstrual products, education, and sanitation facilities. Additionally, it can also signify the financial instability that women and girls experience due to the high cost of menstrual supplies.
