When crisis strikes, women and girls are always among the most vulnerable. They are the first to go without food and lose access to education and essential care. They are more vulnerable to sexual, physical, and psychological violence as a weapon of war.

And even as women and girls navigate the dangers of emergencies, they continue to get their periods.

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. UNFPA Dignity Kits include menstrual pads, underwear, soap, laundry detergent, and other essential menstrual hygiene supplies.

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 today to deliver the gift of dignity this giving season? We’re aiming to raise another $56,954 before our Year-End Deadline at 11:59 PM on December 31.

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 and can be delivered around the world within 48 hours.

Earlier this year, gifts from supporters helped us distribute more than 60,000 Dignity Kits across Syria and Türkiye after earthquakes displaced millions of women and girls.

And right now, we are working with partner organizations on the ground to distribute Dignity Kits in Gaza and the West Bank — we’ve handed out 7,500 Dignity Kits across shelters in Gaza, and we’re actively working to deliver thousands more.

Please, commit to giving the gift of dignity by sponsoring Dignity Kits for women and girls in crisis. We cannot let the basic needs of women and girls go unmet during emergencies.

Make a gift today 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. It’s crucial that we receive your generous gift before our Year-End Deadline at 11:59PM on December 31.

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.
