As a woman living in the United States, certain day-to-day conveniences have become such a basic part of our routine that we often take them for granted. The only reason girls in our country might miss school during their cycle might be for cramps. However, for millions of girls in developing countries, sanitary protection is a luxury item and the lack of affordable resources can have devastating lifelong consequences.
Can you imagine not being able to afford feminine hygiene products? For these girls, being unable to afford sanitary protection resorts to dangerous alternatives or they will simply avoid school for the duration of their periods. Often that will lead girls to abandon school altogether and increases their vulnerability to poverty and disease, including HIV.
o.b. Brand recognizes this oftentimes overlooked crisis. They have created the Share-It-Forward Facebook campaign to raise money and awareness for Huru International, a non-profit organization that provides at-risk young girls in developing countries with the resources and knowledge they need to complete their education and safeguard their health.
