August has been declared Sanitary Towel Month by the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), with the party calling on all sectors of society to unite behind the struggle for the dignity of women and girls. The initiative is centred on the Sanitary Towel Drive and a campaign demanding the provision of free sanitary towels in every public space.

As part of Women’s Month, the EFF will march to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to demand justice, protection, and equality for all women. The movement stresses that access to sanitary products is a matter of dignity and rights, emphasizing the daily challenges faced by women and girls who cannot afford them.

The EFF stated that the struggle for women’s dignity is inseparable from the broader struggle for freedom. By linking access to basic sanitary products with justice and equality, the campaign aims to place the issue at the centre of national attention. The party has urged communities, organizations, and leaders to join hands in making sanitary towels freely available and ensuring the rights of women are fully protected.
