Sanitary towel dispensers

Avignon University and CROUS Aix-Marseille-Avignon are working together to combat the menstrual insecurity faced by female students, thanks to the Ville Campus schemeThe project is the brainchild of university student Hinde Bahlagui, a former Ville Campus civic service volunteer who was on placement at CROUS at the time.
Motivated by this initiative, a group ofIUT d'Avignon in DUT Packaging, Emballage et Conditionnement Marion Bonnin, Sara Lerond and Elaurie Tourel, supervised by Yannick Knapp, senior lecturer and head of the Packaging department at the Avignon University IUT, made this possible.

For this first stage of the project, 10 dispensers were designed and manufactured by the students and placed in certain toilets accessible to PRMs on the 2 campuses:

These dispensers are replenished daily, giving everyone free access to essential hygiene products.
