Dear Friends and Family,Please join me and The Pad Project in the global fight for menstrual equality! The Pad Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the principle that, "A period should end a sentence, not a girl's education." At the 2013 “Commission on the Status of Women” at the United Nations, a group of high school students and their teacher, Melissa Berton, learned that girls all over the world are forced to miss or drop out of school entirely at the onset of their periods, due to lack of access to hygienic and affordable menstrual supplies. Melissa and her students committed to create a documentary that would raise awareness about the issue and to form a club called The Pad Project. Six years later, in 2019, that film, PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE., won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short, and that club became the 501(c)3 nonprofit that I write to you about today. Thanks to the support of caring people like you, The Pad Project has had the pleasure of hearing from 42 states, 94 countries, and has sparked a global conversation about menstruation. Still, while The Pad Project is humbled by all of the help they have received, the fight for menstrual equality has only just begun! My hope is that you will continue to further their goals by dismantling taboos around menstruation, creating your own Pad Project chapter, and donating to their organization. Please help them reach all 50 states, 195 countries, and empower more girls and women! They can't do it without you. Naomi Zweiback

The Pad Project is a nonprofit organization founded by a group of high school students and their teacher dedicated to the principle that “a period should end a sentence, not a girl’s education.” All over the world, particularly in low and middle-income communities, one of the reasons why students drop out of school at a young age is a lack of access to affordable and hygienic menstrual products. Fifty percent of the world’s population menstruates. The Pad Project’s job is to ensure that one hundred percent of them have the tools to manage it. In order to raise awareness about this critical human rights issue, The Pad Project committed to raise the funds to send a pad manufacturing machine, along with a year’s worth of raw materials to a village in rural India, and to document the process on film. That film, PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE., won the 2019 Academy Award for Best Documentary Short and sparked a global conversation about menstrual equity. The documentary not only depicts how the installation of a pad manufacturing machine provides access to affordable and hygienic menstrual products but also sustains a micro-economy for the women who operate it. Since the film’s Netflix release and Oscar win, we have received requests for pad machines from diverse individuals and organizations from over 94 countries. Please join The Pad Project in our mission to create and cultivate local and global partnerships to end period stigma and to empower women worldwide.

Queridos amigos y familiares : ¡Únase a mí y al Proyecto Pad en la lucha global por la igualdad menstrual! El Proyecto Pad es una organización sin multas de lucro, organización al principio de que "un período debe terminar una oración, no la educación de una niña". En la "Comisión de la Condición Jurídica y Social de la Mujer" de 2013 en las Naciones Unidas, un grupo de estudiantes de secundaria y su maestra, Melissa Berton, descubrieron que las niñas de todo el mundo se ven obligadas a faltar o perder la escuela por completo al comienzo de sus períodos, debido a la falta de acceso a suministros menstruales higiénicos y asequibles. Melissa y sus alumnos se comprometieron a crear un documental que crea conciencia sobre el tema y formar un club llamado The Pad Project.Seis años después, en 2019, esa película, PERIODO. FIN DE SENTENCIA., Ganó el Premio de la Academia al Mejor Cortometraje Documental, y ese club se cambió en la organización 501 (c) 3 sin multas de lucro que les escribo hoy. Gracias al apoyo de personas como usted, The Pad Project ha tenido el placer de escuchar de 42 estados, 94 países, y ha provocado una conversación global sobre la menstruación. Aún así, aunque The Pad Project se siente humillado por toda la ayuda que han recibido, ¡la lucha por la igualdad menstrual acaba de comenzar! Espero que continúes avanzando en sus objetivos desmantelando los tabúes en torno a la menstruación, creando tu propio capítulo del Proyecto Pad y donando a su organización.¡Ayúdenlos a llegar a los 50 estados, 195 países y empoderen a más niñas y mujeres! No pueden hacerlo sin ti. [Name]prof.Agustina

END OF SENTENCE., won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short, and that club became the 501(c)3 nonprofit that I write to you about today. Thanks to the support of caring people like you, The Pad Project has had the pleasure of hearing from 42 states, 94 countries, and has sparked a global conversation about menstruation. Still, while The Pad Project is humbled by all of the help they have received, the fight for menstrual equality has only just begun! My hope is that you will continue to further their goals by dismantling taboos around menstruation, creating your own Pad Project chapter, and donating to their organization. Please help them reach all 50 states, 195 countries, and empower more girls and women! They can't do it without you.[Name]

Dear Friends and Family,Please join me and The Pad Project in the global fight for menstrual equality! The Pad Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the principle that, "A period should end a sentence, not a girl's education." At the 2013 “Commission on the Status of Women” at the United Nations, a group of high school students and their teacher, Melissa Berton, learned that girls all over the world are forced to miss or drop out of school entirely at the onset of their periods, due to lack of access to hygienic and affordable menstrual supplies. Melissa and her students committed to create a documentary that would raise awareness about the issue and to form a club called The Pad Project. Six years later, in 2019, that film, PERIOD.

Un appel à mes amis et mes proches, Joignez vous à moi pour une bonne cause en donnant et soutenant "The Pad Project" dans la lutte pour l'égalité menstruelle ! Une notion peu connue qui renvoie aux inégalités vécues dans ce monde face aux ressources et à l'éducation données aux femmes par rapport à leurs menstruations. The Pad Project est une OBNL qui vise à soutenir les jeunes filles du monde entier, mais particulièrement des régions les moins développées et les moins sensibilisées, dans l'accès à des protections féminines, leur permettant de poursuivre une éducation et ainsi de participer au développement de leur communauté. Voici un rapide historique du projet pour mieux comprendre son but : Lors de la «Commission de la condition de la femme» de 2013 aux Nations Unies, un groupe d'élèves du secondaire et leur enseignante, Melissa Berton, ont appris que les filles du monde entier sont obligées d'abandonner l'école entièrement au début de leurs règles, en raison du manque d'accès à des fournitures menstruelles hygiéniques et abordables. Melissa et ses élèves se sont engagés à créer un documentaire qui sensibiliserait à la question et à former un club appelé The Pad Project. Six ans plus tard, en 2019, ce film, PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE., A remporté l'Academy Award du meilleur court métrage documentaire. Grâce au soutien de personnes attentionnées comme vous, The Pad Project a eu un retour de 42 États, 94 pays, et a déclenché une conversation mondiale sur les menstruations. Pourtant, alors que The Pad Project est reconnaissant par toute l'aide qu'ils ont reçue, la lutte pour l'égalité menstruelle ne fait que commencer! Afin de vous donner une idée de l'importance du travail qu'il reste à faire, je vous invite aussi à regarder le court documentaire "Period.End of sentence" disponible sur Netflix. Réaliste et touchant, il vous permettra de connaitre la réalité d'un grand nombre de femmes ! En attendant, je compte sur vous pour les dons ! Morgane
