Menstrual Health
131 million girls around the world are out of school, many due to lack of access to menstrual health products.
GREAT BEING A GIRL
For millions of girls around the world, menstruation is more than a biological process—it’s a barrier. Without access to proper menstrual health products, countless girls miss school, fall behind in their education, and face social stigma. Great being a girl is on a mission to change that. We are committed to empowering girls by providing sustainable, affordable, and eco-friendly menstrual health solutions. Through education, community engagement, and menstrual cup distribution, we are transforming the way girls experience menstruation—ensuring they can thrive without limitations.
131 million girls around the world are out of school, many due to lack of access to menstrual health products.
The UN reports that in rural areas, only 39% of girls attend secondary school compared to 45% of boys.
In some communities, menstruating girls are isolated due to outdated cultural beliefs, leading to stigma and shame.
A single girl will use approximately 9,000 disposable pads or tampons in her lifetime, contributing significantly to environmental waste.
At Great Being a Girl, we champion the use of medical-grade silicone menstrual cups, a revolutionary and sustainable alternative to disposable menstrual products.
With proper education and access to menstrual cups, girls can go to school without fear or disruption.
Cups provide up to 12 hours of leak-free protection, allowing girls to focus on school, play sports, and engage in daily activities without worry.
