In response, Tostan is distributing reusable sanitary pads in five prisons. A simple intervention. A powerful impact. Health protected. Dignity restored.

Behind bars, access to basic sanitary products is limited. For many women, this means compromised health, discomfort, and loss of dignity simply because they are incarcerated. #EndPeriodPoverty #PeriodsInPrison #MenstrualEquity

Prison shouldn’t mean losing your dignity. In Senegal, incarcerated women face critical shortages in hygiene and healthcare. 🧵👇 #IWD2026 #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Tostan highlights a reality that remains largely overlooked: online violence also affects rural communities, where prevention and support mechanisms are still poorly adapted to local realities.

On May 18, 27 communities in #Matam declared their commitment to end FGC and child marriage in Thionokh. Each declaration is more than a ceremony. It’s a promise to protect girls, support women, and build healthier, more equitable communities. Thank you to @unicef, @unfpa
