NASSAU,
Bahamas, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On
December 31, 2024, the "Menstrual
Equity Project" , jointly initiated by KuCoin, Global CSR
Foundation, and the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA),
has made new progress. The second batch of aid supplies has been
successfully shipped to the Bahamas, providing urgently needed sanitary
products for 4,000 local women and effectively improving their
quality of life.
The "Menstrual Equity Project" aims to offer sustainable
menstrual hygiene solutions to marginalized women and girls,
aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs). As the oldest multi-specialty medical organization
promoting women's advancement in the medical field and improving
women's health, AMWA's mission is in perfect alignment with
KuCoin's commitment to social responsibility.
With the support of the Office of the First Lady of Commonwealth
of Bahamas H. E. Ann Marie Davis,
this round of donated materials focuses on disposable menstrual
pads. This decision reflects the local challenges of water scarcity
and high washing costs, while also providing essential emergency
supplies for women during natural disasters such as hurricanes and
typhoons.
Since KuCoin made a firm commitment to social welfare
initiatives during the "KuCoin Green Future Gala" at the 28th
United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in 2023, the company has actively
fulfilled its corporate social responsibilities. The "Menstrual
Equity Project" has become a key initiative under this
commitment.
In March 2024, the project's first
phase was implemented, distributing 1,000 menstrual kits—each
containing 10 sanitary pads and 2 menstrual cups—to Suriname, St.
Jude Children's Research Hospital, and domestic violence shelters
in New York and California.
The smooth delivery of the second batch of supplies to the
Bahamas will benefit 4,000
women.
Jing Zhao Cesarone,President of Global CSR Foundation,
commented:"KuCoin has set a remarkable example in addressing period
poverty in underserved regions, demonstrating its enthusiasm and
dedication to social responsibility."
Nancy Cheung, KuCoin's Chief
Sustainability Officer (CSO), emphasized:"As a global leader in the
digital economy, KuCoin is committed to advancing the UN's
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Looking ahead, we will
continue to focus on key areas such as climate change, health, and
education, driving more philanthropic initiatives to fruition. We
also plan to expand the scope of the 'Menstrual Equity Project,'
collaborating with more international organizations to improve
women's living conditions and contribute to global sustainable
development."
