In the days following the recent floods, as life in affected areas slowly returned to normal, practical support continued to reach those in need. Kotex Vietnam - a leading sanitary pad brand with a mission to accompany and care for women’s health - donated 13,000 packs of Kotex sanitary pads to the Thai Nguyen Provincial Women’s Union and students of the University of Education - Thai Nguyen University affected by the disaster.

In emergency situations, our first thoughts often go to food, clean water, or safe shelter. However, personal hygiene, especially menstrual hygiene, is also a fundamental need that directly affects women’s physical and mental health.
Ensuring these needs are met not only supports daily living but is also an essential part of emergency response and post-disaster recovery efforts.

This support from Kotex Vietnam reflects a spirit of empathy and solidarity, recognizing the often-overlooked yet vital aspects of women’s and girls’ lives – those most affected in the aftermath of natural disasters.
