fighting against “period poverty” in Somalia.

In collaboration with local communities and international partners, SOMWU has implemented various initiatives to tackle period poverty head-on. These efforts include raising awareness about menstrual health and hygiene, providing access to affordable and sustainable menstrual products, advocating for policy changes to support menstrual equity, and offering support services to those affected by period poverty. By mobilizing its resources and expertise, SOMWU aims to empower women and girls, ensuring they can fully participate in society without the burden of period-related challenges hindering their potential.
