Clean water, a place to “poo,” and waste systems are not too much to ask.
Did you know?
Globally, 4.5 billion people don't have access to safe sanitation, such as using a toilet, and 2 billion people currently lack access to quality water.
Safe and clean drinking water helps children avoid deadly diseases, helps ensure girls can stay in school, and allows women to earn a living wage.
Around the world, students miss out on school every month because of their period.

We need to call on and pressure countries like Nigeria to work to become open defecation free by investing in and prioritizing sanitation.
Tell governments around the world that #ItsBloodyTime we prioritize menstrual health.
