Poverty of Physiology

We are working with various actors to address the problem of "physiological poverty" of women and girls who are in a situation where it is difficult to secure sanitary products due to economic reasons and various factors.

Last Updated October 1, 2021

○Effective use of stockpiling for disaster prevention (from R3.7 months)
 We distributed a part of the sanitary products stockpiled in the city's disaster prevention stockpiling to the Gender Equality Center (3 buildings) along with the update.
 It was also used by the Yokohama City National Council of Social Welfare and the Japan National Council of Social Welfare and the Japan National Council of Social Welfare to provide support for the poor living.

○experimental project in cooperation with private companies
 With the aim of fostering momentum toward achieving gender equality, the experimental project is being implemented in collaboration with Oytel Corporation.
In order to reduce various burdens related to menstruation, we have introduced the OiTr, a service that provides free sanitary napkins in women's private room toilets.

Please refer to the following for more information about "OiTr".
