Menstrual Health, Dignity and Equality for Every Girl.
The I CARE campaign promotes menstrual health, dignity, awareness, and access to practical menstrual care. Through #icare_power_period, the campaign encourages communities to recognize menstruation as a normal part of life and to support women and girls with knowledge, respect, and essential resources.
Menstruation should never be a source of shame or a barrier to education, participation, or opportunity.
The campaign brings attention to menstrual health needs, challenges stigma, and encourages individuals, communities, institutions, and partners to take part in building a more informed and supportive environment.
