Based on the multiple challenges women and adolescent girls face during menstruation, it is evident that promoting menstrual hygiene is not only a sanitation matter but also an important step in safeguarding the Dignity,Body Integrity and Life Opportunities for women & girls.

Because of social taboo & gender stereotypes that stigmatize menstruation as dirty,many people experience menstruation with shame and without access to the resources needed to manage their menstrual health safely.
Menstruation is a human rights issue.

Several forms of Gender-Based Violence (GBV)are directed against people specifically because of their menstruation status.
Bullying or teasing in school settings or workplaces due to menstruations is a common occurrence.
Let's promote MH, SRH & Gender Equality! 🇬🇲

Menstruation and other forms of uterine bleeding are priorities across the full life cycle of women and adolescent girls.
However across the world several factors prevent menstruators from accessing information, resources, services and products.
