Have you ever wondered about the impact of a woman's period on society? 

For many women around the globe and in particular our home country South Africa, this is a daily challenge, especially when trying to have access to affordable sanitary wear. At present the majority of women around the world are currently on a menstrual period and there are millions of women who do not have access to this basic necessity, especially our school-going young women, who can ill-afford to miss school during their developing years.

Those who can afford sanitary wear, are then subjected to paying tax on acquiring a basic necessity to feel clean and comfortable, during a period. 

With the escalating price of sanitary towels it would be most welcoming if our government can drop the tax on this very important commodity. 

In order to grow a self-sustainable country we need to ensure that we create a strong foundation and that is investing in our future generation.

The women of our country serve the backbone of our economy and if we cannot ensure their well-being then the cycle of poverty is perpetuated.
