About This Campaign
When disaster strikes, relief arrives carrying the essentials we immediately think of—food, clean water, medicine, blankets, and shelter. These supplies save lives, but they don't meet every need.
There is another crisis unfolding quietly inside every flood shelter. One that rarely makes headlines and is often left out of emergency response plans.
For thousands of girls and women displaced by the devastating July 2026 floods across Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, and surrounding districts, managing their periods has become an impossible challenge.
With homes submerged and communities cut off, access to sanitary products has disappeared. Many girls and women are forced to rely on torn cloth, newspaper, or even leaves to manage their menstruation. In overcrowded shelters with little privacy and poor sanitation, these unsafe alternatives expose them to urinary and reproductive tract infections while stripping away their comfort, confidence, and dignity.
Some women choose not to seek refuge in emergency shelters at all because separate toilets, private spaces, and basic menstrual hygiene facilities simply do not exist. During a disaster, no one should have to choose between personal safety and personal dignity.
This is the invisible emergency that Wreetu Health and Well-being Foundation has been addressing since 2016.
Founded by Umme Sharmin Kabir, Wreetu has become one of Bangladesh's leading menstrual health organizations, reaching more than 150,000 adolescents and community members across 22 districts. Through education, advocacy, reusable menstrual products, and community outreach, Wreetu has spent years ensuring that girls and women can manage their periods safely, confidently, and without shame. Their work also extends to indigenous communities through menstrual health materials translated into the Chakma language, allowing them to reach populations that many organizations cannot.
When the Flood Rose, So Did Her Silent Struggle
When floodwaters rise, they don't just wash away homes.
They take away safety. Privacy. Comfort. Routine.
But for thousands of girls and women across Bangladesh's flood-affected communities, they also take away something that almost no emergency relief package replaces—the ability to manage their periods with dignity.
Every year, floods leave families stranded with little more than the clothes they are wearing. Relief teams rush to deliver food, drinking water, medicine, and shelter. These supplies save lives, and they are desperately needed.
Yet there is one essential need that continues to be overlooked.
Menstrual hygiene.
Imagine being forced to live in an overcrowded shelter, surrounded by strangers, with little privacy and no access to sanitary products. Imagine trying to manage your period using torn pieces of cloth, newspaper, or leaves because there is simply no other option. Imagine having to wash these materials in contaminated floodwater, knowing that every use increases the risk of infection.
For countless girls and women, this is not imagination.
It is their reality.
Many choose not to enter emergency shelters at all because there are no separate sanitation facilities or private spaces for women. Others stay in unsafe conditions, risking their health because preserving their dignity feels impossible elsewhere.
This is the crisis that often goes unseen.
While the world counts damaged roads and flooded homes, countless women quietly struggle through one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives without the basic necessities they deserve.
For over nine years, Wreetu Health and Well-being Foundation has worked to ensure that no girl experiences menstruation in shame or silence. Their BCSIR-approved reusable sanitary napkins are chemical-free, environmentally friendly, and designed to last an entire year. They have already empowered more than 150,000 adolescents and women across Bangladesh through menstrual health education, reusable hygiene products, and community outreach.
Now, as devastating floods continue to affect Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, and surrounding regions, Wreetu is once again stepping forward.
Together with Uddom, we aim to provide 1,000 emergency dignity kits to girls and women who need them most.
Each kit includes a Wreetu reusable sanitary napkin set and an emergency hygiene supplement, giving a girl the means to manage her period safely throughout the disaster and long after the floodwaters recede.
For someone who has already lost her home, belongings, and sense of normalcy, this small package becomes far more than a hygiene kit.
It becomes comfort.
It becomes confidence.
It becomes protection.
Most importantly, it restores dignity.
Your contribution does more than purchase a product.With just BDT 555, you can provide one complete dignity kit that protects a girl or woman for an entire year.
Because surviving a flood should never mean sacrificing your dignity.
“"Your needs matter. Your health matters. Your dignity matters."”
