Grassroots workers, social entrepreneurs, and United Nations agencies are also contributing to this noble cause. For example, in May 2013, WASH United conducted a 28-day social media campaign called "May #MENSTRAVAGANZA" on Twitter to generate awareness about menstruation and MHM. On May 28, 2014, many people celebrated Menstrual Hygiene Day for the first time with exhibitions, rallies, movie screenings, speeches, and workshops. This day is celebrated annually across the globe to create awareness about menstrual hygiene.
Social media has become a forum to discuss menstrual issues and educate females from all walks of life about the importance of menstrual hygiene. The UK campaign against the tampon tax started on social media through 'The Pink Protest' via the weekly Instagram series. Social media plays a vital role in creating awareness about menstrual hygiene and reducing the stigma associated with menstrual issues. Thus, the growing awareness about menstrual hygiene creates a considerable demand for feminine hygiene products, thereby propelling the Europe feminine hygiene market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Europe Feminine Hygiene Market Growth
The rising female literacy rate and greater menstrual hygiene awareness primarily drove the feminine hygiene products market before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the consumer goods industry experienced adverse impacts of the pandemic during the first quarter of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic led to unprecedented challenges for many sectors, such as consumer goods. Lockdowns, border restrictions, travel bans, the shutdown of manufacturing units, and other security protocols under the guidelines of the governments of different nations adversely impacted the operations of manufacturing companies. Moreover, the supply chains of companies were disrupted during 2019, 2020, and 2021 due to nationwide lockdowns and border restrictions, hampering the production and distribution of various products. The pandemic led to social distancing norms and a severe negative economic impact, hindering feminine hygiene products’ manufacturing and distribution processes. The COVID-19 pandemic also led to an economic recession in the initial months of 2020, which created financial difficulties for low-income and mid-income consumers. As a result, people only purchased primary essential products—such as groceries and critical medical products—lowering the sales of feminine hygiene products.
