our vision & mission.
Vision:
We see a future where period poverty is eradicated and socially and economically vulnerable women and girls have dignity, hope and opportunity through sustainable menstrual health management.
Mission:
For Her Dignity partners with international vetted affiliates who deploy a network of community leaders to distribute culturally appropriate and easily replicable resources, including education materials and dignity kits, to vulnerable women and girls in culturally conservative countries.
Values:
-
Dignity
-
Empowerment - We enhance women’s ability to help themselves
-
Acceptance - We meet women where they are at, without judgement
-
Choice - We give choice to women
-
Accountability - We hold our partners accountable and we will be held accountable
-
Humility - We recognize our need to listen and learn from women in place
Mission Approach:
-
“Period poverty” is understood to be poverty of education regarding menstruation leading to a culture of shame, and poverty of resources to deal with menstruation in a positive and life-fulfilling way. It includes light bladder leakage because many of the causes and effects are the same as menstruation
-
Partnering with local existing organizations whose values align, while maintaining direction and control of our resources.
-
Identifying and training natural leaders within the target community to facilitate dignity and educational programs
-
Measuring and evaluating the impact and effectiveness of our actions.
For Her Dignity has joined arms with the social enterprise Transformation Textiles and together partner on projects in areas of Laser Focus.
