What is in a UNFPA Dignity Kit? ©UNFPA During the most desperate situations such as the aftermath of a natural disaster or during a conflict, UNFPA distributes basic supplies to maintain the health and dignity of women and girls. Many of these supplies are included inside containers called dignity kits. These kits are given out at refugee camps or other similar locations. Contents of a UNFPA Dignity Kit UNFPA’s dignity kits vary across communities. In some setting for example, they may include a headscarf. Generally, they contain menstrual pads, bath soap, multiple pairs of underwear, detergent powder, sanitary napkins, a flashlight, toothpaste, a toothbrush, and a comb, all housed inside a backpack or easy-to-carry bucket. Each of these items is catered to the specific needs of women and girls.
