The Problem 

A survey we launched in 2020 revealed that one-third of ethnic minority women were unable to afford sanitary products and 65% of them said their family’s financial burden would be reduced if they had access to free sanitary products for their monthly period. The Period Poverty Survey was completed by 288 individuals in the Hong Kong ethnic minority community with 43% of respondents being Pakistani, 23% Indian and 16% Nepalese. This was the first survey of its kind in Hong Kong. 

Our Work 

The Red Box project aims to address period poverty by providing girls and young women to receive free menstruation supplies from LUÜNA and educating them about better hygiene and care for mental and physical health.  

• 12 months of sanitary products (organic products)
• 4 x mandatory training about their physical health and mental health
• access to counselling should they want it
