Providing relief supplies and information which are appropriate to each person’s age
Protecting women’s health
Is distributing sanitary goods enough?
Sanitary goods are now considered as
necessities among relief goods for women.
However, is this all that is required to protect
women’s health in evacuation? Sanitary
goods are not needed by all generations of
women and they are not used every day.
There should be other necessities for women.
Various demands of necessities
Some women get vaginal infections and
inflammation of the bladder during evacuation
life because it is difficult to take a bath.
Portable bidets and panty-liners are useful to
keep the body clean. For some women, it is
not sanitary goods but bladder control pads
that are necessary. Basic skin care products,
such as toner, moisturizing cream and sun
protection are also necessary for women.
These are not luxury goods, they are to
protect the skin from becoming dry and to
avoid irritation and maintain their health.
Protecting women from violence
In addition to keeping the body clean and
healthy, it is also important to protect women
from violence. Whistles are useful for alerting
rescue teams when being trapped under the
debris caused by aftershocks or when facing
a possible assault. Rape crisis information
should be also available in case an assault
happens.
These supplies and information should not be
provided in isolation but should be available in
a pouch with other goods so that women
would not hesitate to receive them. It is also
more effective if persons like health workers
and midwives, who can give advice to
maintain good health, distribute them.
