Too often, the needs of women and girls are overlooked when crisis hits.

What does that mean exactly? Women and girls eat last and least, lose access to education, and have essential care needs that are overlooked. They’re more vulnerable to sexual, physical, and psychological violence. And even as women and girls navigate the dangers of emergencies, they continue to get their periods and become pregnant.

A lack of proper menstrual hygiene supplies is one of the most impactful — and most overlooked — needs facing women and girls in crisis regions across the world.

That’s why we deliver lifesaving care in the most dangerous, isolated, and complex crises in the form of Dignity Kits so that even in emergencies, women and girls can manage their periods with dignity.

Today, we’re asking you to sponsor Dignity Kits and ensure that even in the darkest of times, women and girls can manage their periods. Will you donate now to deliver the gift of dignity and make a tangible impact on the lives of women and girls?

Dignity Kits are a critical part of UNFPA’s humanitarian response to help women and girls after being displaced. The basic kit contains 10 essential supplies — including menstrual pads, underwear, soap, laundry detergent, and other essential menstrual hygiene supplies.

Gifts from supporters like you ensure Dignity Kits can be delivered around the world within 48 hours — like when donations helped distribute more than 60,000 Dignity Kits across Syria and Türkiye after earthquakes displaced millions of women and girls earlier this year.

We cannot let the basic needs of women and girls go unmet during emergencies, which is why we’re asking you to commit to giving the gift of dignity by sponsoring Dignity Kits today.

Donate now to deliver Dignity Kits and essential menstrual care items to women and girls who have been displaced and are living through dangerous crises around the world.

Thank you for caring for those left most vulnerable when crisis strikes. With your support, we can ensure every woman and girl — even those displaced by natural disasters or warfare — can maintain their period with dignity.
