Let’s make Women’s Day better together!
As in previous years, the Municipality of Józsefváros is organising a donation campaign to collect menstrual supplies and other hygiene items for women living in poverty.
In Hungary, 3 out of 10 women may be affected by menstrual poverty, meaning that 3 out of 10 women cannot afford to buy the hygiene products they need during their period.
Ending menstrual poverty can only happen with systemic changes, but in the meantime, the Municipality of Józsefváros is working to help women who are struggling to buy menstrual supplies month after month.
Donate:
- tampons,
- shower gel, body lotion, hair care products, deodorant,
- cosmetics.
It is important to note that this year we are no longer collecting sanitary pads, as they are provided free of charge by the Municipality of Józsefváros to women in need under the 2M Programme.
Duration of campaign: 17 February – 3 March 2025.
