History

Founding and actions

The association was founded in 2019 in Lomé by Hamdiya Katchirika.[1] The organization is mainly dedicated to combating period poverty in the country.[2] To achieve this, activists distribute reusable and washable cloth menstrual pads in remote areas of the country.[3] [4] [5]

They also participate in awareness workshops, both on menstruation,[6] in areas still heavily affected by related prejudices,[7] and on other topics, such as raising awareness among young Togolese girls about breast cancer and ways to identify this disease.[8]
