On January 1, 2026, the exemption of sanitary towels, pads, and tampons from value-added tax officially came into effect in Nigeria. We could not have achieved this without your support.

The journey toward ending period poverty in Nigeria is still long, and I will continue to need your help in advocating for further policy changes that significantly reduce the cost of menstrual healthcare, especially for schoolgirls, whose education is often threatened by period poverty.

For now, let’s celebrate this victory. The fight continues!
