From October 1 to 31, the LGBTQIA+ Côte d’Azur Center is launching a
major solidarity collection of hygiene products in recognition of the
International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.
Access to
essential hygiene items is a matter of dignity and health, yet for many
LGBTQIA+ individuals in precarious situations, these basic products can
be out of reach. This campaign aims to bridge that gap, with a focus on
specific needs too often overlooked.
The collection seeks
donations of everyday essentials such as tampons, sanitary pads, shower
gel, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, shaving
cream, and lotion—anything that can help people take care of themselves
with dignity.
Organized in partnership with the national association Règles Élémentaires Mayotte,
which fights against period poverty, and with the support of local
retailers, the initiative is rooted in solidarity, respect, and
inclusion. Every contribution makes a difference.
Drop-off points are available in Nice at the LGBTQIA+ Côte d’Azur Center—both
at the community bar and administrative reception on Rue Cathy
Richeux—as well as at the Maïoun de Cathy social reception desk at 14
Boulevard Risso. All collected products will be distributed directly to
those in need.
