Essity heeft als doel het taboe rondom menstruatie te doorbreken en het bewustzijn over hygiëne en menstruatie te bevorderen. In Latijns-Amerika, Azië en Europa worden onderwijsprogramma’s opgezet om meisjes te onderwijzen over wat er met hun lichaam gebeurt tijdens de puberteit en wanneer ze ongesteld zijn.
We zijn actieve ondersteuners van de Menstrual Hygiene Day van WASH United door middel van sociale media en voorlichting. Het thema van dit jaar is #nomorelimits (geen beperkingen meer) en richt zich op bewustwording van de fundamentele rol van goede menstruele hygiëne zodat vrouwen en meisjes zich maximaal kunnen ontplooien.
