Today is #MenstrualHygieneDay and we want you to hear from the people who remind us why this work matters.
Sharon, 16, thought she was the only one struggling.
Resty, 14, believed her period defined her.
Immaculate, 21, was always left out of the conversation.
Nakato, 28, missed work every single month.
They were not failing.
The world was failing them.
Since inception, Period Talk Uganda has worked across communities with students, parents, market vendors, youth champions, and people too often excluded from menstrual health conversations because menstrual health belongs to everyone.
And the change is real.
Brian, 19, now speaks up when others stay silent.
Paul, 45, now ensures the girls in his home have what they need and are never ashamed.
That is what community led change looks like.
Today we recommit to a world where every girl and woman can menstruate freely and live fully.
For dignity. For equity. For every person.

SDG 17 is the enabler of menstrual health progress it connects all the moving parts. Without partnerships, efforts remain fragmented, small-scale and less impactful. We are glad to stand with you on this journey.
This International Women's Month, we honor the strength, success, and accomplishments of women around the world. Yet, we must also recognize the challenges many face – particularly in menstrual health. Period poverty affects millions, hindering education, employment.
We stand to raise our voices against gender-based violence. Every action counts; let's demand change, support survivors, and foster a safe world for all !
On this International Day of the Girl Child, Adey Pads advocates for every adolescent girl to have access to resting rooms, toilets, sanitary pads, and clean water in schools. Together, let's create period-friendly environments for girls.
