End Period Poverty 無くそう、生理の貧困 |
Girls’ Day Period Product Collection DriveMarch 1–31, 2025Celebrate Japan’s tradition by addressing period poverty! Once again, we celebrate Japan’s Girls’ Day by running a period product collection drive. Please support the drive by dropping off menstrual products at locations listed below or donate cash by filling out the form at the bottom (tax receipts will be issued by the organization you choose - Edmonton's foodbank or Boyle Street Community Services). There are two points that we address in the End Period Poverty Campaign. 1. To assist ensuring access to period products for all women in Edmonton In Canada, one quarter of women with periods are struggling to purchase period products (per United Way’s website). The situation is the same in Edmonton. Every year, we check with Edmonton’s Foodbank and Boyle Street Community Services (where we donate period products) whether period products are their high priority. The answer is always “Yes.” The needs for period products are large and consistent. In addition to the visible homelessness crisis in the city, the recent inflation is forcing many women, especially mothers, to choose between foods and their hygienic health. 2. To help reduce stigma around periods Talking about periods while participating in the End Period Poverty Campaign helps reduce stigma around periods, such as periods are dirty, shameful topics that should not be discussed openly. While we were sorting out donated period products last year, we (participated volunteers) discussed a lot about periods and period products and learned a lot about them from each other. Period poverty is not only about limited access to material products, but also about limited access to information because stigma prevents us from exchanging information. For this year’s Girls’ Day, Let’s talk about periods! Support by donating menstrual productsDrop off menstrual products at the EJCA Centre or participating business locations near you. We accept the donation of unopened packages of pads, tampons, sanitation wipes, and pantyliners. Drop-off locationsLook for a colorful box with the campaign poster. Products only.
