Freeperiod

2024122024()2024FemTech Weekend2024SDG()()202438FreePeriod company has designed a small and easy-to-use emergency sanitary pad station based on vending machines and sanitary napkins. We aim to solve the embarrassing dilemma of women who have menstruation in public places but have no sanitary napkins available. We carry out reproductive health-related education and publicity to alleviate the problem of menstrual stigma. We advocate the policy of providing free sanitary napkins in women-friendly places. We want to promote the concept of sanitary pads like toilet paper. We are preparing to apply for invention patents and other qualifications. We won the Best Award at the 12th International Conference on Social Sciences and Humanities in Fukuoka, Japan in 2024, and the third prize in the 2024 Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) Sustainable Smart Living Competition and Best Social Media Award in the inaugural Chinese FemTech Weekend Challenge. In addition, the project was selected for the 3rd Tencent Technology Venture Capital Program and Tsinghua SDG Open Innovation Marathon in 2024 and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) Entrepreneurship Bridge Grant. The team has facilitated the policy of providing free sanitary napkins in women's toilets at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) in Guangzhou, China on March 8, 2024. We plan to continue to develop and launch our emergency feminine-product accessible station (EFAS) based on the core technology.
