Advancing Menstrual Health and Equity in Nepal
Pad2Go Nepal , a young-women led social enterprise based in Nepal, has been dedicated to advancing menstrual health. Since its establishment in 2018, Pad2Go has been at the forefront of innovation in Nepal’s menstrual health sector. By pioneering the introduction of sanitary napkin vending machines in Nepal, Pad2Go has strategically integrated gender-inclusive action, innovation and impact to ensure equitable access to menstrual products while challenging deep-rooted menstrual taboos and restrictions.
In addition to annual school campaigns, Pad2Go extends its outreach to incarcerated women in Nepal’s prisons, striving to enhance their access to menstrual products. The organization also provides fellowships for college-level students and is actively engaged in advocacy efforts aimed at eliminating VAT on period products through its #RaatoKarMaafGar campaign. Pad2Go remains steadfast in its commitment to drive transformative change across Nepal.
