Period or not, she can!

 

Women have inspired our innovation, challenged our thinking and are at the centre of everything we do. No stigma around periods should hold them back.

August marks Women’s Month. So, this is a time to reflect on the heritage and meaning of Women’s Day, and appreciate the journey and obstacles women have faced – and overcome. 

In remembrance

Women are much more than just figures in the background. They are innovators, pioneers, teachers and mentors, among other things. And, in remembrance of all that South African women have achieved, Kotex has chosen August 2018 to introduce its campaign – Period or Not, She Can.

No more period stigma

The goal of the campaign is “to make sure that a period stigma never holds her back”. This is according to Nthabiseng Motsoeneng, the marketing manager of the feminine care category at Kimberly Clark. And, to further carry out the message that Period or Not, She Can, Kotex has teamed up with inspirational South African women to share their stories and motivational journeys:

Unstoppable

This Women’s Month, join these remarkable women by standing up for what you believe in, and become unstoppable, too! Like them, don’t let anything stand in the way of your success. Show that Period or Not, You Can with Kotex.
