The project's primary objective is to enhance accessibility to free intimate hygiene products for menstruation in public spaces, concurrently striving to dismantle the societal taboo surrounding menstruation. Over the preceding six months, alongside project implementation, we have actively engaged in awareness campaigns addressing menstrual poverty and promoting the overall initiative. These efforts aim to foster an open dialogue and eradicate the stigma associated with menstruation, underscoring the importance of menstrual hygiene for all individuals.
The awareness campaign on menstrual poverty and the purpose of Pink Boxes is part of a project that began last year. Thanks to funding from the Polytechnic Foundation, we were able to start the Pink Boxes project at PK. The project aims to spread access to free intimate hygiene products for menstruation in public spaces and seeks to remove the taboo that is menstruation. Over the past six months, in addition to implementing the project, we have also conducted awareness campaigns about menstrual poverty and the project as a whole. This submission is a summary of the first semester of our activities in this project, both by completing boxes, observing other people's behavior and awareness campaigns. Through all of these activities, we were able to reach a large number of people, show them the importance of inclusiveness in this aspect, and were able to influence their perspective on this problem.
