Advocating for women’s empowerment through feminine hygiene is a crucial and often overlooked cause, with cultural and societal taboos leaving women uncomfortable and silenced.
GynaGuard, the Number 1 Feminine Hygiene Intimate Care brand in South Africa, aims to change this status quo and uplift women through its first-ever ambassador search competition. The brand is on the lookout for three extraordinary and fearless women to become the Face of GynaGuard. This is a chance for you to advocate for women’s empowerment, open up honest discussions around feminine hygiene and well-being, and foster a more holistic understanding of women’s wellness.
“We firmly believe that feminine hygiene and care for women’s bodies should be openly and honestly discussed. Our aim is to demystify feminine hygiene and destigmatise words like vagina, labia, and vulva. Educating women and girls about feminine hygiene can empower them to thrive while encouraging husbands and fathers to understand and support their wives and daughters. Women and girls deserve to be their true selves without fear of stigma or judgement. They should feel empowered to pursue their dreams and passions and have their voices heard,” says Zizipho Quma, GynaGuard’s Brand Manager.
“The Face of GynaGuard will be chosen through a selection process to identify women who embody the brand’s core values. The process involves an initial screening of entries based on the eligibility criteria, followed by a thorough evaluation by our expert panel, who will consider several factors like the entrant’s understanding of feminine hygiene and health, ability to engage with audiences, and passion for promoting women’s wellness. The winners will embody confidence, empowerment, authenticity, and inclusivity,” says Quma.
Each lady will win a Fiat 500, a one-year brand ambassadorship and prizes worth over R100 000.
To get involved, purchase a GynaGuard product and complete the form, which you can find on www.faceofgynaguard.co.za.
The competition, which has been running since 1 May 2023, closes on 31 July 2023. Winners will be notified telephonically and publicly announced at the beginning of September 2023. The year-long brand ambassadorship will run from September 2023 to the end of August 2024 for the winners.
Quma says, ‘’By embracing our femininity, championing our confidence, and advocating for women’s empowerment, we can create a world where feminine hygiene is openly discussed, women’s voices are heard and valued, and every woman feels empowered to pursue her dreams. Empowering women with the right products helps address their immediate needs and supports their long-term well-being, enabling them to lead healthy, confident lives. Initiatives like the Face of GynaGuard play a crucial role in advocating for the importance of feminine hygiene products and ensuring that women have access to the tools they need for a better, more empowered future.’’
