The @united Bangkok Rules, unanimously adopted in 2010, set out clear standards for the treatment of women in prison, including the requirement that they be provided with adequate menstrual products.
Yet, more than a decade later, women in custody across the world still report shortages, inconsistent provision, and unsafe improvisations. This failure to provide such basic necessities undermines dignity, health, and rehabilitation.
It is a reminder that dehumanisation often begins with the denial of the most ordinary human needs.
✊ Help us push for accountability.

You are absolutely right. A woman already feels insecure when she's menstrtruating. I have never been tô prision, i have no criminal, o will be 56 years old in May 2026, no loger menstruate and have no children. I teacher Literature and Diversity for Citizenship the children and teenagers and i see the reality when girls até menstruating. I've been through myself. Imagine a woman experiencing PMS. Headaches, breast pain, irritability, sudden crying spells, and other feelings that afectus during this period. Os there a psychologist avaiable for the famele inmates tô talk tô about these heightened emotions ?
