Pads were distributed to the female students as a lot of them couldn’t afford it due to the high cost. They were also taught practical steps on how to use and properly dispose it.
Ready to Run urged the government to aid the eradication of period poverty which is a leading case, “as the price of pads keep going high and a lot of ladies can barely afford it.”
The Team also asked the government to treat the matter with all seriousness as it’s an essential and basic need for the female gender in other to lead clean and healthy lives.
