Period of Shame

- The amount allocated for provision of free sanitary towels was slashed by 99 million shillings in the financial year 2013/2014, this is from the 300 million shillings allocated previously to the ministry of education for the provision of sanitary towels to 568,925 needy girls between class 6 and 8, a fraction of the 2.5 million in need of the towels. Do you know what this means? Only 1\3 of the targeted girls will benefit. Judy Kosgei was in Marigat, Baringo county one of the districts which has never benefited from the program and found out shocking details of how girls miss school during their menses and opt use goat skin, chicken feathers, soil and even leaves during their menses for lack of an option.
I didn't know some girls in the world live like this I am so thankful for what I have
niyah reid me too
amen
niyah reid please watch videos of Jim Nduruchi
I realize it's kind of off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Eli Sage meh I would suggest flixportal. just search on google after it :) -kamari
This is possibly one of the saddest things i have seen.
Without a woman I was not born; without God, I'm nobody! Amen!!
I agree.
Yess
Amen
Wow and the little thing WE take for granted I pave a huge closet of pads but I still complain that I don't have a specific brand :(
girlhelp 101 please watch videos of Jim Nduruchi
Maybe there should be a program to help people understand what womanhood involves, and stop being such a shameful thing.
ABC are you on Twitter? IreneJiggerKeny
This is so traumatizing and im looking forward to make my vision about minimizing menstrual shame and create awareness about the counterfeit sanitary towels come true🙏🏾
Lool joker
the girls lack sanitary towels a basic need,yet their siblings in class 1 will have laptops!!what a shame and a
disgrace?can we prioritize what should come first uhuruto?
Giving them free pads would not be the answer..teach them how to use materials they already have into reusable pads.
+STAR ANGEL I've seen interesting solutions. I don't remember all, but look up AfriPads. Some areas are making pads out of plentiful materials
STAR ANGEL please watch videos of Jim Nduruchi
The worse thing is there are no pads and they are not educated about there own bodies
The girl child's education is really at risk in this country. If it is not menstruation, it is early marriage. When will all this stop? We need to do something.
may the Government do something to provide all girls in schools sanitary towels
I’m not just thinking about the sanitary towels but how on Earth do they survive period pain with no pain killers?!? Poor girls!!
I feel so bad for women there :( I wish they had sanitary towels :'(
Ashley Lopez please find me on Twitter IreneJiggerKenya
This is so awful and saddening to watch, but it made me realize how privileged I am to have access to pads and tampons
Also, although I agree that diva cups might be a better and reusable solution, I think that they are impractical in some communities because the women may not have the means to clean them out. And because diva cups go inside the body they may leave the women vulnerable for infections and diseases
Feminism is the liberation of those in need with a better way of taking care of your menstrual cycle....
Reusable cloth pads would be the best option in this case - if they're manufactured well they should last quite a few years... I'm so grateful I'm not in this position. 🙏🏼
OMG! this is shocking and shamefull to our government . What are women reps doing in this country? are this not the things they should b raising in parliament ( free sanitary towels to every girl child in schools)? OMG! where are the NGOs? the government should act fast.
If you want to help out, donate to Precious Stars Pads (search her on youtube) who sends reusable pads out! and buy menstrual cups like Ruby Cup that give one to a girl every time you buy one!
Yes and there are other organizations too that help supply reusable pads(ie: Days for Girls and the KURA project).
Cant they use old cloth or maybe they should give them diva cups......
JustBeing Me please watch videos of Jim Nduruchi
There to poor
@@oinmentoverdose7149 There's also the issue of cleaning the cup to a sterile level
This is what One Girl, a charity here is Australia that supplies affordable sanitary pads to girls in Sierra Leone, says about the issue:
"Q: Why don't you use reusable fabric pads instead?
A: After surveying 500 women and girls, we discovered that many of them find it embarrassing to have to wash their soiled cloth in public washing areas. Because Sierra Leone is a developing country, they don’t have the same hygienic means of washing as we do.
this is soo sad...the government should provide free sanitary towels to all schools instead of stupid laptops
And that's why I'm not ashamed or fell embarrassed of my period. I'm a woman, a healthy woman, and that's why I get my period. It is normal.
Respect to women! If God is in control then the Nature- The Creator- rules. Men and women have their givens and short-comings in secrets. If by chance or ordained man/woman meet each other so be it, but let us be the judge. Let them be! The key should be love. All God's creation is good for purpose for His glory in the meantime till we depart this world. Just my opinion!
Misplaced priorities in Kenya, is an understatement
I thenk my mother soo much for giving me everything
Alvis mum Karanja are you on Twitter? IreneJiggerKeny
cloth towels should be used this way it helps more girls and its reusable
Have you all heard of reusable cloth pads, it is more sustainable and longer lasting.
The girls and women can also learn to make their own pads once taught. It might be an idea to start a cloth pad making program.
I will be donating to similar programs in the near future, best wishes and good luck.
How disturbing.never seen anything like that.goat skin??sitting on soil?omg clearly the government here NEEDS to do a lot more for these girls!
I'm so greatful for the pads I have access to, poor girl I feel bad that the have to put up with this, having a period is hard enough.. But to have to worry about what your gonna use, or bot having anything to use is so stressful, God Bless You❤
what a pity..i hope they will have free sanitary towels donation as we know they couldnt afford to buy it due to poor life ;(.please help them God .perhaps we can make a donation consist of money or sanitary towels speacial to them.
+ebi faezah Days For Girls International has developed fabric pads that are very helpful. They don't look taboo, and they need little water to wash and they sterilize well in the sun (daysforgirls.org)
Are you on Twitter? IreneJiggerKeny
I feel so bad about girls who can't get pad and tampons :( :( :(
good work judy kosgey. please give us update about it!
When I had this, I would buy pads that sent pads to third world countries. All women should have access to pads and tampons
This is not about misplaced priorities its all about misinformed officials. it does not mean when one lives in underprivileged society they are all poor. I see in Nairobi public schools where girls are issued with sanitary pads yet some of them are well of. Let provide to those who really need it by conducting a survey before rolling out a program.
I think menstural cups would be a really good idea, since they are reusable. This is very sad.
good idea. reusable.
Jacksty9 Every time someone buys one for themselves from the brand Ruby cup, they donate one to a girl in need, and teach them how to use it!
Yes menstrual cups are great until the men start saying the are not virgins
we can have both laptops and accessible sanitary towels, only of there was less greed in terms of salary allocation and use of motorcades with so many expensive cars that only case traffic jam!! etc!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope this is not Kenya at the 21st Century.It is shameful to give them Laptops when this is happening.Please can the G O K address this?????????????????????????/
So moved..........Government should respond to this drastically.
Diva Cup for everyone!
This is a big shame to our country at large
Feel sorry for the chickens being plucked alive
Kate Rose they said the chickens are dead
That's your only concern??
@@erickwainaina5708 ni kawaida yamzungu wanapenda wanyana kuahinda binadamu wenzao
erick wainaina yes
Oh my gosh I feel horrible right now😥😥I feel so bad😥we should appreciate that we girls/women have comftorble pads😔
Sadly Lawrence it is not exaggerated. Days for Girls International has seen first hand the suffering these girls go through. Also the clothing she is wearing is mostly likely all she has. Thanks so much for your interest in this subject. It is always so wonderful to see men concerned about women's issue.
We want to help these girls get Sanitary towels, please help us reach out to them!
This is so sad, I am so grateful for the simple things I have
how can one donate products
holy molly!can someone tell me i'm not dreaming,have never heard of this before it's a pity the government should do something about this,sanitary towels should be distributed in all public schools for free .this is so embarrassing
How i can donate pads to this girl?
@Alexis Lucille ... i agree with you. I'd also like to know how I can help so these girls can access sanitary towels.
They should be provided menstrual cups.
Shocking indeed
THEY NEED PADS NOW D':
or maybe those reusable cup things I keep hearing about...
While sanitary towels may be a preserve of the able,cotton wool is readily available in most rural areas,and has been used over time.I feel sad and helpless watching this,thousands of miles away from my Country,unable to comprehend why these poor girls have to go through such an ordeal.
And I complain about my period.... poor girls pads/tampons/ mensuration cups should be free..
We should never take anything for granted at all.
keep up the good work of highlighting the girl child's problems.
this is just unbelievably sad
Our MPs earn 1.2 million.... wat a shame
i agree kenya is too big to be struggling with this kind of issues....
There are sustainable washable pads and cups available that girls can count on month after month for years instead of struggling to get what they need month after month. Check out Days for Girls and Ruby Cups. Both work in Kenya and beyond. This issue is all over the world. Everywhere that families have to choose between food and pads, they have to choose food. Girls and women suffer many consequences as a result. We can change this together.
I am a filmmaker ...would really wanna highlight this as a full feature documentary...is it possible...could the journalist who covered this or the relevant person kindly contact me
shame, shame, shame. misplaced priorities
It's sad to know that in Africa periods is still a tabou... it should not be, it's so natural...
Ndio mana yule mama alikuwa anapigania watoto wa shule wawe wanapewa visoda ila wegine walipiga sana
Oooh my ooh my oooh my
.........
@muthengi & @mmurumba are sponsors on contributing pads, find them @twitter. I've worked with them and they are great people.
Thats too shocking, the goverment should do something about this.I think these sanitary towels should be lowered in their price too don't u you think so?
We're are the government turning a blind eye ignoring there ppl is this the new Africa were talking about
Yap Elizabeth.
The pupils should give the sanitary towel for free
Filmgoals....please contact Days for Girls International for further information also. We have been working on this issue for over four years and have distributed feminine hygiene kits in over 65 of the poorest countries. We are an all volunteer, grassroots organization and would love to add our experience to your work.
Lawrence u forget that if they don't have sanitary towels surely they have at most 3-5 oufits combined. if she has resulted to feathers then bliv her. this is from a female point of view.
don't they have old rugs
Kenyans must turn and face reality i mean this is not human and feminine yet we have women representatives all over demanding a pay?!!! pliz
So that what may happen....Please enlighten me.
It iz a shame for a country like kenya
You have the answer. It starts with you and I. #Foodforthought
its such a shame lets join the conversation on twitter #PeriodofShame and also like this page on facebook
Pamoja Tuangamize Matumizi Ya-feathers Na Goat Skin As Sanitary Towels
check out Days for Girls, we make washable sanitary supplies that last up to 3 years and give them for free. The organization works off of donations of money, supplies, and labor. There are a few organizations that do this... if you don't like Days for Girls find another!
A question for the presenter.... when you knew the story you were doing, did you atleast rally the people you know so that you can buy them a few packets?
Its journalist they want a story to tell
we shouldnt blame the goverment no these lets take action as true Kenya and help each other
That’s so sad 😭
PLEASE if you are interested in this cause look up organizations like Days for Girls... we make and distribute washable sanitary supplies that last approximately 3 years! we are always in need of supplies, people who can sew, and also people with connection to areas where they need to be distributed. please look us up Days for Girls
Ooh lord help me i wanna donate some while im back home after my hustle help me God
It would be solved easily with menstrual cups!!! Cheaper, more ecological and healthier!!
I use it and i don't have to pay for sanitary towels or tampoons anymore :)
You have to pay for them, tho. 😂
Rayhab...please contact Days for Girls International and be a part of changing the world one girl at a time...thanks so much!

Enlighten me too
I would like to be know how to send pads to these girls.
Some times lets not blame as much as we pay taxes i take this responsibility i will contribute my salo this month to help this girls let me know the place and how i can get there
priority comes second
period of shame indeed,,#sad#
Appalling. Where does Foreign Aid go in these countries? Kenyan women and girls need to stop hanging their heads in shame and take to the streets in their millions until this situation is rectified. What about those cups to catch the menstrual flow...they are reusable and I doubt that providing these to needy women would be a great expense. Nothing is thought through or implemented. Nobody cares and the silence and shame surrounding the subject is aiding this. I'd rather be dead than a woman in these countries.
Josh S aww that was so sweet 😍
why can't people learn to make their own sanitary pads? feathers? really? use old fabric for crying out loud!
God how can I reach her or donation account
its true something needs to be done urgently but this is overly exaggerated. why would you put feathers or leaves or dried up leather how much would that retain. you are wearing cotton clothes cut them up and use them like they did in the early days. the government needs to address this instead of laptops but before then we should do something ourselves
Shame on you kenya with your wickedness.
Check out organizations like Days for Girls, we make and distribute washable feminine hygiene kits that last up to 3 years. we are in need of money, supplies and/or volunteer labor.
Alexis...please contact Days for Girls International and be a huge part of the solution....thanks so much!
buy lass 1 laptops ??? nd no sanitary towels for Gals in our schools ???
where are this NGO's?
To be a part of a sustainable solution to this very real problem please contact Days for Girls International.
