🩸 Periods are a natural part of life.

Yet, many face stigma and lack access to essential products because they are considered “dirty” or “dangerous”.

See how @‌UNFPA ensures that #MenstrualHealth is understood, respected, and accessible for all: https://t.co/3HodRwiuKK

[UNFPA in Kenya @UNFPAKen]

What’s the probability of a #PeriodFriendlyWorld becoming a reality?

The answer depends on how willing all of us —including men and boys — are to take action.
