- Nearly one in five women in South Africa experience unmet needs for contraception, while up to 30% of girls are absent from school during their menstrual periods because they do not have access to sanitary products.
- The day calls for unified action to provide affordable, accessible, and gender-responsive healthcare while resisting anti-rights movements limiting women's autonomy.
