The future of global competitiveness is strongly connected to the commercial exploitation of the rights over proprietary innovations. An #IntellectualProperty owner can benefit by selling or licensing the IP right in exchange for payment. #Commercialization @_ARIPO

📣 Menstrual products must be accessible and acceptable.
It's time to bridge this inequality gap and create a world where everyone can thrive.

There is a red flowy pattern with different shades of red and with white stars extending from the woman’s dress, to cover the all of the bottom and right hand side of the card. On top of this pattern, in white text reads ‘500 million people lack access to menstrual products and adequate facilities for menstrual health’. There is a white UNFPA logo in the bottom right of the card.
