As part of its community service efforts to support vulnerable women, the Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination: Women’s Arm Guyana (SWAG) concluded its feminine hygiene and sexual health drive by handing over 30 gift bags to the women of the Night Shelter on Thursday, May 10, 2018, ahead of Mother’s Day celebrations on Sunday.



SWAG representatives distributed the gift bags to both the women residents and staff at the 24-hour homeless shelter. Aimed at promoting body safety, good hygiene and healthy lifestyles, the gift bags contained feminine hygiene products, sexual and reproductive health commodities and informational brochures.

The sexual health commodities and brochures were provided by the National AIDS Programme Secretariat of the Ministry of Public Health.
