This International Women’s Day

Take Action That Lasts

Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls

Give a Cup

In some countries, the annual cost of pads equals the cost of school fees…

Give a menstrual cup this International Women's Day and help eliminate period poverty in Liberia, Ghana, and Uganda.

1 Cup. $7. 10 years of opportunity.

This IWD, the UN theme is "Rights. Justice. Action." Here in Australia, we're balancing the scales. Both require action that lasts, not just words.

This International Women's Day, turn your post into action. Every cup distributed is a girl who stays in school. Every girl who stays in school is a community transformed.

Access. Education. Dignity. It all starts here.

The Cova Project is a global menstrual health organisation breaking down period poverty across Africa and Australia.

38,000+ menstrual cups distributed. 1.52 million school and work days returned to girls and women.

The Problem

Girls across Liberia, Ghana, and Uganda miss up to 50 days of school every year. Not because they don't want to learn. Because they don't have access to safe period care.

When pads cost as much as school fees, educating girls becomes twice as expensive as educating boys. Girls are often left without, forced to use unsafe materials like newspaper or engage in transaction sex for pads. Just to stay in school…

This isn't just an education issue, it's a justice issue. Period poverty is a direct barrier to girls achieving their full potential.
