"26 women reached within the scope of the project"
Within the scope of the project, washable pads were delivered to 26 women residing in Siirt's Tüylüce village, identified as in need, to prevent health problems arising from menstrual taboos and economic reasons, and they were informed about their use. The women, who expressed their gratitude for the training and pads provided, are aimed to spend their menstrual periods in sterile conditions within the project.
