The One Economy Foundation has received a donation of 6,000 sanitary pads from South African-based Lil-Lets, owned by Premier FMCG, as part of efforts to address period poverty and restore the dignity of women and girls.
 

The Ministry of Health and Social Services has commenced with investigations of sanitary towels reportedly infused with chemicals.

This follows a study by the University of the Free State in South Africa that found some products that may contain toxic substances linked to possible health risks for women.
