PERIOD PROUD Kite Festival!

Held on International Menstrual Hygiene Day (May 28), the Period Proud Kite Festival was more than just a celebration, it was a powerful finale to the Collective Action Against Period Poverty (CAAPP) project.

This inspiring journey, made possible through a groundbreaking partnership with the Embassy of France in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, brought much-needed attention, resources, and compassion to an issue too often overlooked.

Here’s a little throwback to a day filled with hope, pride, and kites that carried our message high into the sky. 🪁❤️

We successfully conducted the Period Proud 2025 Research Launch yesterday (27th of May, 2025), graced by the presence of Honourable Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya Harini Amarasuriya and *His Excellency Rémi Lambert, Ambassador of France to Sri Lanka and the Maldives*.

This event marked the launch of four key research studies conducted by our partner NGOs as part of the Collective Action Against Period Poverty (CAAPP) project. The studies launched included:

Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) and Shanthi Margam: A study on Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Menstrual Hygiene in selected communities in Colombo and Kandy.

Human Development Organization (HDO) Kandy: Research on Menstrual Health and Hygiene Issues among women in plantation communities in Kandy and Nuwara Eliya.

Rural Economic and Community Development Organization (RECDO): A study on Menstrual Health, Cultural Influences, and Institutional Practices among Muslim girls in Trincomalee.

We also launched “Period Proud – Stories from the Frontline of Change”, a publication documenting the pre-CAAPP landscape and the coordinated response over the two-year project period, compiled by the FPA CAAPP project team.

The event was attended by a wide range of participants, including representatives from government institutions, international organizations, INGOs, NGOs, civil society organizations, and social activists.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of this event and stood with us in this collective effort.
