Empowering Women’s Health and Well-being: How We at her machine Contribute to Sustainable Development

her machine is more than just vending machines. We’re a movement, a commitment to promoting health, equality, and economic growth for women and girls across Pakistan. Through our sanitary napkin vending machines, we aim to make a lasting impact by aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3, 5, and 8.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being is at the core of our mission. We believe that access to menstrual hygiene products is a fundamental aspect of women’s health. Here’s how we contribute to this goal:

- Reducing Health Risks: By providing easy access to sanitary napkins, we help prevent infections and health issues caused by using unsafe alternatives during menstruation. Our machines ensure that women and girls have safe, hygienic options wherever they go.

- Supporting Mental Well-being: The reassurance of having sanitary products readily available can significantly reduce stress and anxiety, especially during emergencies or in communities where these products are not easily affordable.

- Enhancing Educational Opportunities: We place our machines in schools to ensure that young girls do not have to miss classes due to a lack of menstrual hygiene products. By supporting their education, we contribute to their long-term health and well-being.

We are dedicated to making sanitary products accessible to all women and girls, directly supporting the achievement of SDG 3.

SDG 5: Gender Equality

Empowering women and achieving gender equality are central to our purpose. At her machine, we strive to eliminate period poverty and menstrual stigma, which are significant barriers to gender equality. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

- Breaking the Silence: By placing our vending machines in public spaces, we are normalizing the presence of menstrual hygiene products and challenging societal taboos. We believe in fostering open conversations about menstruation, contributing to a more inclusive society.

- Empowering Women and Girls: Access to menstrual products is a basic right. By providing these products, we enable women and girls to participate fully in education, work, and social activities without interruption.

- Promoting Inclusive Design: Our initiative highlights the importance of considering women's needs in infrastructure planning. We hope to inspire other sectors to adopt more inclusive practices that cater to everyone’s needs.

Through our efforts, we aim to dismantle barriers to gender equality, ensuring that women and girls have the opportunities they deserve.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

Promoting economic growth and providing decent work are crucial for societal development. Here’s how we at her machine contribute to these goals:

- Creating Employment Opportunities: Our operations generate jobs, especially for women, through the deployment, maintenance, and management of our machines. We’re proud to contribute to economic growth and provide livelihoods.

- Supporting Workforce Participation: By ensuring that menstrual hygiene products are always available, we reduce absenteeism due to menstruation-related issues. This promotes greater participation and productivity in the workforce.

- Fostering Entrepreneurship: As a startup, we embody the entrepreneurial spirit. We drive innovation in the health and hygiene sector and create new market opportunities, inspiring others to follow in our footsteps.

We are committed to supporting economic development and decent work, aligning our efforts with the objectives of SDG 8.

At her machine, we believe in creating a better world for women and girls. Our vending machines are more than just dispensers of sanitary products; they are tools for change. By aligning our efforts with SDGs 3, 5, and 8, we strive to promote health, equality, and economic growth.
