Spent the morning at Papine High School in collabo Spent the morning at Papine High School in collaboration with the Kiwanis Club of JBF Kingston, where we distributed menstrual products and engaged students in an important conversation about menstrual health and hygiene.

Including boys in conversations about periods is essential to breaking the stigma and shame surrounding menstruation. We remain committed to ensuring that all students have access to accurate information and resources so they can make responsible, informed decisions and help create a more supportive and understanding environment for everyone.

This morning, we were proud to celebrate Girls’ Da This morning, we were proud to celebrate Girls’ Day at Pembroke Hall High School 

Through meaningful conversations on reproductive health, puberty, and personal hygiene, we continue our commitment to empowering girls with the knowledge and confidence they need to make informed decisions about their bodies and futures. 

We also donated menstrual products and underwear to support students and further our mission to End Period Poverty in Jamaica — because no girl should have to miss out on her education or opportunities due to lack of access to basic essentials. 

Together, we are creating a future where every girl can thrive with dignity, confidence, and support.

Menstrual Hygiene Day is more than a moment—it’s a Menstrual Hygiene Day is more than a moment—it’s a movement.

Across Jamaica and the world, too many girls still miss school, feel shame, or lack access to the products and information they need to manage their periods with confidence. That has to change.

Periods are normal. Access is a right. Dignity is non-negotiable.

Today, we raise our voices for a future where every girl is informed, supported, and equipped—no matter where she lives.

While the world is making progress in addressing p While the world is making progress in addressing period poverty, far too many girls in Jamaica are still missing school, struggling in silence, and lacking access to basic menstrual products.

The reality is clear — the fight is not over. Every girl deserves to manage her period with dignity, safety, and support.
