In Maiduguri in northern Nigeria, over 250,000 displaced women and girls in refugee camps have little or no access to sanitary products. Hundreds must share a single toilet and washroom coupled with poor access to water and soap. During their period, they often rely on crude, improvised materials like scraps of old clothing, pieces of foam mattress, toilet paper, leaves, and banana fibres to manage their menstruation, putting their health at risk.
