Next Innovation Inc. (Kita-ku, Osaka; Kenichi Ishii, Representative Director) announces that its "toreluna" service, which provides free menstrual napkins in toilet stalls, has implemented the "1minute,1napkin" project by donating menstrual napkins to Osaka Prefectural Nagayoshi High School (Hirano-ku, Osaka).
This project is promoted in collaboration with our company and the international cooperation NGO JOICFP to install menstrual hygiene products in educational settings and to promote understanding of menstruation, one of women's health issues, and SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights). We will continue to expand our collaborations with schools, municipalities, companies, and related organizations, aiming to create an environment where the continuous installation and operation of menstrual hygiene products become established.
Comment from Osaka Prefectural Nagayoshi High School
The constant availability of napkins at school provides a great sense of security for students. Knowing that they will be "okay" even in situations of sudden menstruation or when they are not prepared can positively impact students' emotional stability and concentration on their studies. Furthermore, this project is highly significant as a means to alleviate anxiety about menstruation and convey the message that "you don't have to bear it alone."
We sincerely thank Next Innovation Inc. for realizing this activity that supports the safety and health of our students. We will continue to utilize it with care.
