Always and Tampax have joined forces to launch the Protecting Futures campaign, dedicated to raising awareness of the little known issue that lack of access to sanitary protection can have a dramatic impact on girls’ education and futures in Southern Africa. They believe that a simple act like empowering girls by supplying them with feminine protection can help change the world. What other simple acts or choices can be made to impact the world around us?

I don't know whether wearing sanitary products will help the females gain any form of empowerment,

It will help them go to school, and statistics show that highly educated females put off their childbearing years and have less children than those with less education. That in itself is somewhat empowering, since it gives them a bit more control over their lives and their reproductive systems.

I think it's a good idea in principle but whether it'd work, I don't know.

I don't know whether wearing sanitary products will help the females gain any form of empowerment, considering the male dominant culture they are stuck in. I just see it as a clever marketing strategy.

Also, look how the birth control programs went. Not that well.
