Together, Hey Girls and Refugease have provided more than 650 women with the essential products they need to manage their periods safely and with dignity.

The joint effort has seen the delivery of 650 pairs of period pants and 650 reusable period pads, and each woman has received at least two reusable items.

The products were hand-delivered by the Refugease team with guidance and support, ensuring the women felt confident using them.

For many in the camp, this was the first time they had had access to reliable, sustainable period products.

“This is the reality for so many women here,” said a member of the Refugease team.

“Many are often forced to bleed in isolation, not by choice, but because they can’t access the basic products they need.

“Some resort to makeshift rags. Some find a single pad, offering only a few hours of relief. Most go without.”

Hey Girls, which is based in Musselburgh, provides products for the women, empowering them to manage their period with dignity and offering them a choice of product that can be worn for a long time and can last them for up to five years.

A spokesperson for the Hey Girls team said: “It’s heartbreaking that, while facing displacement and crisis, women still feel pressure to hide their periods.”

Both Hey Girls and Refugease see the project as a powerful example of collaboration between social enterprise and frontline humanitarian aid.

“We believe that no one should be held back by their period,” added the Hey Girls team.

“This project is a clear example of what’s possible when we work together.

“We’re proud to support Refugease in delivering period dignity to every woman in the Samos camp.”

Valentina Osborn, founding director of Refugease, was delighted with the impact of the campaign.

She said: “From the start, we were very selective about choosing the right partner – we wanted products that were natural, toxin-free, affordable and effective.

“Surprisingly, finding that combination was a real challenge and we initially pressed ahead without securing the perfect fit.

“Midway through, we discovered Hey Girls – and it truly felt meant to be.

“Working with them has been a joy, and the refugees we support love their products.”
