the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To create a world where all women
have menstrual dignity
We are committed to ensuring that women
have adequate access to menstrual products
and education. Our campaigns encourage
open and honest conversations about
periods, helping to eliminate stigma and
shame so that women do not experience
health issues as a result of their menstrual
cycle.
We also work with international
communities to address the lack of basic
amenities and actively campaign for policy
change that supports menstrual dignity. In
addition, Binti collaborates with
organisations to implement period dignity in
the workplace, working closely with HR and
Facilities teams to create meaningful and
lasting change.| |||| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
