Global humanitarian initiative UHUMANS has partnered with UK social enterprise Fashion Enter on a solution aimed at addressing period poverty through deadstock fabric.
UHUMANS 和 Fashion Enter 之间合作的核心是一个简单但强大的想法:，将时尚行业废物转化为改变生活的资源。
At the heart of the partnership between UHUMANS and Fashion Enter is a simple but powerful idea: turning fashion industry waste into life-changing resources.
UHUMANS points out that currently, in Leicester alone, approximately 3,000 girls miss school due to period poverty, resulting in an estimated 37,000 lost days of education each year. Across the UK, the issue is even more stark, with thousands of young people forced to choose between basic necessities and essential hygiene products.

与此同时，, 英国女性平均一生在经期产品上花费高达 £20,000,，其中许多是一次性使用的塑料制品。据估计，英国每年使用超过 43 亿个一次性月经用品,，其中大部分含有高达 90% 的塑料。这些产品可能需要数百年的时间才能分解,，这对垃圾填埋场废物和海洋污染产生了重大影响。
At the same time, the average woman in the UK spends up to £20,000 over her lifetime on period products, many of which are single-use and plastic-based. It is estimated that over 4.3 billion disposable menstrual products are used annually in the UK, with the majority containing up to 90% plastic. These products can take hundreds of years to decompose, contributing significantly to landfill waste and ocean pollution.
同时, 时尚行业每年都会产生大量未使用的材料,，其中包括吨卷纺织品, 被丢弃或送往垃圾填埋场。
Meanwhile, the fashion industry generates vast quantities of unused materials, with tonnes of fabric, including end-of-roll textiles, discarded or sent to landfill every year.
By repurposing surplus fabric from fashion production, the partnership will create high-quality, reusable period pads manufactured by Fashion Enter. These sustainable products not only reduce reliance on single-use plastics but also provide a dignified, long-term solution for those experiencing period poverty.
此次合作伙伴关系是一个强有力的例子，展示了通过协作,、创造力, 和对变革的共同承诺可以实现什么目标。
The partnership stands as a powerful example of what can be achieved through collaboration, creativity, and a shared commitment to change.
“This is about thinking differently,” said Reshma Desai, global project director of UHUMANS. “We are connecting industries that rarely intersect – fashion, sustainability and humanitarian aid – to create a circular solution that delivers real impact. This isn’t just a project; it的 the beginning of a movement.”
该试点计划将在莱斯特, 启动，并计划在英国全国范围内推广。通过提供可重复使用的产品,，该计划有可能大幅减少缺勤,，让年轻女孩恢复数以万计的教育天数,，同时从源头上解决环境浪费问题。
The pilot programme will launch in Leicester, with the ambition to scale nationally across the UK. By providing reusable products, the initiative has the potential to dramatically reduce school absenteeism, returning tens of thousands of lost education days back to young girls, while also tackling environmental waste at its source.
Fashion Enter, 的 Jennifer Holloway, 首席执行官表示: “这项举措展示了当创新满足目标时的可能性。通过利用原本会浪费的材料,，我们正在创造一些有意义的,、有影响力的, 和可扩展的东西。”
Jennifer Holloway, CEO of Fashion Enter, said: “This initiative shows what的 possible when innovation meets purpose. By utilising materials that would otherwise go to waste, we are creating something meaningful, impactful, and scalable.”
