“We have seen girls that got pregnant just to avoid worrying about menstrual hygiene products for 9 months.” That was Onyinye Edeh. Wunmi Yussuf is a civil servant in Lagos. Brenda Effiom is a social activist and a Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights specialist based in Cross River State and Bolaji Margaret is an Abuja-based youth advocate, while Faleye Ibrahim is an undergraduate at Lagos State University (LASU) and a photographer. The paths of these five persons may never cross. But the fire from something burning in their hearts lights the path for hundreds of girls and young women who cannot afford sanitary pads.
