Flow without fear campaign for celebrating World Menstrual Hygiene day was a success!
Thank you to everyone who contributed in one way or the other to make this event beautiful

Why are we focusing on women and girls living with sickle cell disease?

Because menstruation is more than a monthly cycle for many warriors.
It can mean severe pain, fatigue, worsening anemia, missed school or work, emotional stress, and even crisis episodes.

@aproko_doctor Happy Menstrual day
@TGIforsicklecel is particularly hosting a Menstral day celebration for women and girls living with Sickle Cell

Their pain deserves attention.
Their health deserves priority.
And their voices deserve to be heard.

Yet, these struggles are rarely talked about.

At The Grace Initiative For Sickle Cell, we are committed to helping women and girls navigate menstruation with dignity, support, education, and practical care.

Save the date!

Periods are monthly. Pain crises shouldn’t be.
On Wednesday, we started conversations

We are on a mission to help women and girls living with sickle cell disease navigate menstruation better. ❤️🩸
One conversation, one outreach, one life at a time.

Female Sickle Cell warriors Dread their period.

Menstruation is a major Trigger for Sickle cell crisis

The Grace initiative is here to tell warriors you're not alone, you're seen and celebrated 💙

We in the streets of Abakiliki fundraising trying to make this dream a reality

[The Grace Initiative For Sickle Cell @TGIforsicklecel]

On Wednesday while we were on the streets fundraising for our "flow without Fear"

Met Rejoice a young Sickle cell warrior
She had lots of questions
"Why's my eye yellow?"
"Why do I have a stomach ache when I am sick?"

The Grace initiative is dedicated to warriors

Menstruation should not take women and girls who live with sickle cell disease to the hospital every month
Our passion is to see that anyone living with sickle cell disease lives so well despite it.
For the month of May, our focus is on women and girls.
