Displaced women and children In Pemba
UNFPA is on the ground addressing the urgent and acute needs of women and girls, including those of pregnant women and lactating mothers. UNFPA is supporting the Provincial and District Government to distribute Female Dignity Kits to hundreds of newly-arrived displaced women and girls and provide psychosocial counseling and support. These Dignity Kits contain essential and culturally-appropriate items to support personal and feminine hygiene, including soap, reusable menstrual pads, capulanas (traditional cloths), underwear, and more.
Amina Daúde, 25 years old, traveled by boat to Pemba with her husband and three children, and upon arrival, received a dignity kit from UNFPA. “Life is the most valuable thing I have at this moment and the Dignity Kit that I received from UNFPA greatly complements it,” she says.
“I came with nothing, nothing at all. Now, my dignity is recovered as I'll be able to have my menstrual hygiene relaxed, I'll be able to wear the capulanas and cover myself as well as wearing the masks for prevention and control of Covid-19."
