last week, we visited participating schools & engaged with learners to hear their thoughts ahead of the debate! They’re preparing powerful arguments on how climate change impacts children’s mental health. Their voices will drive important conversations on solutions & action!

Today through @Togetheraliv and partners, I facilitated a session on inclusive programming. With support from @CafeSRHR and @hivosrosa we also launched a Disability Rights Consortium which bringings together both mainstream organizations and those led by persons with disabilities.

This initiative aims to build a powerful movement that collectively advocate for the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of persons with disabilities.

Period Poverty is the inability to afford/access period products to manage a period. Without access to menstrual products, girls & women during their periods miss out on daily life. That’s why we’re producing reusable sanitary pads to #EndPeriodPoverty. #TheHildenCharitableFund

#ICYMI: Last week, in partnership with Rise Up Together Initiative we conducted a School Health Outreach reaching out to above 122 pupils with Menstrual Hygiene & Management information & training girls including boys how to make reusable sanitary pads.

[Hope Nankunda @nankunda20]

Addressing issues of Menstrual Health and Hygiene should be considered urgent especially the need to address issues related to lack of access to adequate sanitary supplies:
It’s so disturbing to see that many young Girls are resorting to soil to manage their periods:
This is absurd:

Dear parents, we surely need realize that supporting our daughters is our responsibility:
But also the government needs to ensure that the sanitary products are tax free and affordable:

Today we joined other partners for a press conference on the urgency to improve menstrual health and hygiene for girls and young women:

Every stakeholder can do something to enable young girls to menstruate with dignity and respect:
Let’s #EndMenstrualStigma together:

Call for Action:
develop a national policy on menstrual health to tackle diverse challenges, adopt a multisectoral approach, finance the distribution of existing menstrual health materials to schools and communities, and subsidizing menstrual product costs.
