The work on developing global standards for menstrual products will continue throughout the year. These standards are crucial in many ways. Please listen to what Linda Serwaa at UNFPA has to say about the benefits and positive effects this work is expected to bring.
“At the end of this project, when we have a standard in place, we will ensure that all stakeholders involved are accountable and responsible for making sure their products, especially menstrual health products, meet internationally acceptable standards.” - Linda Serwaa, Head of Product Quality Assurance, UNFPA
We are also pleased to announce that more members have joined the ISO committee for menstrual products. A warm welcome to new participating members from Ethiopia, Nigeria and Rwanda, and observing members from Senegal.
