China COVID-19 fight sparks outcry over female frontline staff

Shanghai resident Jiang Jinjing became concerned about how female medical workers were dealing with their periods, after workers spoke out about avoiding using the toilet to conserve their protective suits.The 24-year-old asked about the issue on China's Twitter-like Weibo platform, and received thousands of comments, including urgent anonymous appeals from women in Hubei.

Her efforts galvanised individuals and companies to send more than 600,000 sanitary pads and period-proof underwear, which can be worn for longer, to frontline workers.China ordered fast-track routes for emergency supplies entering Hubei province - but sanitary products weren't initially considered necessities.

While the provincial leaders are overwhelmingly male, women account for the majority of nurses and doctors on the frontline, according to the official All-China Women's Federation."Even human lives can't be protected, why care about that issue in the crotch of your pants?" one wrote in response to her campaign."We're very happy that we can do a little work for women's rights," she told AFP.

Arden supporter of China but this is very sad that their front line medical workers are being deprived of physiological privileges. Wish China would care for their female frontline staff better... especially after all they've given.

They great job look like god
