The menstrual product dispenser in the toilets at the FA CTU

The use of industrial materials symbolizes the modern era, technological progress, and accessibility. It's not only about the use of materials but also about the need for innovative and sustainable solutions to meet basic needs. Through this dispenser, I would like to open up space for conversation and raise important questions about the current situation, where, even in a modern and developed society, access to basic health products is still not guaranteed for all women. The industrial revolution is mentioned as a reminder of a time when women worked in factories under conditions that are hard for us to imagine today, used as cheap labor. This historical reality can serve as a contrast to today’s world, where we should be able to ensure basic needs for everyone.
