Creating opportunities for young women and girls to realise their rights, strengthen their agency, develop their skills and participate meaningful in decisions

[Girls Trailblazers Uganda @GTriblaizers]

Period dignity is a right, not a privilege.

Every girl and woman deserves access to accurate information, safe menstrual products, clean water and sanitation, and respectful reproductive health services.

Environmental human rights defenders hold enormous power.

They bring frontline evidence, trusted community leadership and the courage to challenge environmental injustice. They protect ecosystems, defend land and livelihoods, expose violations and hold governments accountable.

A few days ago in partnership with What girls Want we conduct Menstrual Health and Hygiene sessions, and other SRHR sessions in 5 schools of Tororo District.
Over 200 adolescents trained on Sexual Reproctive Heath, skilled on how to make re-usable sanitary pads .

Technology is opening doors, and we are making sure more girls walk through them.

Through our Girls in Tech programme, we are working to equip girls with practical digital skills, encourage them to explore technology, and build the confidence to participate

The right information changes everything

The Magic Box, our menstrual health booklet included in every Ecojua Smart Bag, gives girls age-appropriate information to help them understand menstruation, their bodies, and how to manage their periods with confidence

When an unintended pregnancy happens, why is the first question often: “Woman, why did you allow yourself to get pregnant?”

But pregnancy does not happen with one person.

Today, we want to challenge the idea that preventing pregnancy and planning a family are responsibilities

We successfully conducted our training on reusable sanitary pads! 🌸

Participants learned how to make safe, affordable, and eco-friendly pads while promoting menstrual health and sustainability in our communities.

Thanks to everyone who took part and supported this initiative.

Thank you friends. This is such an important and impactful initiative—educating both girls and boys helps break stigma, build empathy and create supportive communities. 👏

Practical guidance on maintaining cleanliness, tracking menstrual cycles, and managing physical changes during puberty. Essential sessions for boys aimed at normalizing periods, ending teasing, and transforming them into "support champions''.
