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.We chose this organization because we feel it relates to us as tween girls around the age of some of the recipients of these products, and we want to do all we can to help.Aliya and Eloise

Lieve vrienden en familie, Op Netflix staat een korte documentaire over het belang van maandverband en sexuele educatie. Wereldwijd leven er vrouwen die hun leven niet kunnen invullen zoals ze zelf willen. Dit is vanwege armoede, maar vooral vanwege het taboe mbt menstruatie. Erg toch?! Kijk die docu en help mee om geld op te halen via deze fundraiser of via thepadproject.org Liefs Mark Please join me and The Pad Project in the global fight for menstrual equality!
