Subz Organisation Takes A Stand In Menstruation Problems
About 7 years ago when Sue Barnes found out that 4 million girls in the the country miss school because they are mentruating and have no sanaritary, she created Subz in response to a request for the donation of washable sanitary pads and panties for the under privileged girls in her area. Subz are panties to which sanitary pads can be clipped. The panty is made of 100% cotton knit, (130 – 140g) which allows the skin to breath. This is also a eco-friendly/green solution.
This was to help females not miss school or work because of something that is so natural. Women should not be compromised, they need an equal chance.There is the issue of the cost of ladies sanitary wear. Underprivileged ladies have to use what’s available to them in their habitats. Name: packets tied around them filled with sand and leaves, waste paper, news paper, old cloths and rags. The virus appears in the menstruation blood when a woman has aids.
She states that the menstrual cup was a good idea. It is a little plastic cup that you insert into the vagina when you have your period and it connects the blood. When it's filled, you will have remove it, wash it and reinsert it. The washable panties and sanitary pads can be purchased at Clicks or on their web page.
Their goal is to try and get many girls as possible to stay in school and get education. They want to give as many packs of sanitary towels to the girls and get funding so that packs could be made and delivered. They also offer an education programme, so the girls can learn about their bodies and the changes that takes place within their bodies, their rights and the empowerment just to be a woman.
