Menstruation is not dirty.
Periods are not shameful.
And no girl should feel afraid of her own body.

Together, we continue to build a #PeriodFriendlyWorld where periods are understood, respected, and normalized.

The girls also learned proper menstrual hygiene practices, explored different menstrual products, and were taught how to properly use and maintain reusable pads, making menstrual education practical, relatable, and memorable.
