@Royal_gtv@_Nyumbire@MugaValentine Politics in Kenya is now becoming a scam. Empty promises from our leaders is a key thing that makes young people not to be interested. So far there's no needfor voting. Already they know who'll be the next president.. Kwa Nini nkapigwe Na baridi bure๐
Gratitude to every individual /organization that works to dignify a woman's period in Kenya especially to those with limited knowledge on menstruation. Every girl is special, has a right to enjoy and dignify her period day. A dignified period day equals a promising future
Period day is a day for the girlchild to embrace womanhood, power, opportunities without fear, reject, neglect, shame or secrecy and choice of keeping it private.

@Latempestad15 Talking of the marginalized areas, girls in rural schools especially lack supporting infrastructure to change sanitary towels. No separate toilets or bathrooms or ones without doors or not there at all.

A girl who cannot afford a sanitary pad, tampon, period cup might be forced to use rags or mattresses exposing them to infections, sores or irritations.
#perioddignity#atp_chat
Its a collective duty and responsibility of public and private sectors to ensure girls have access to menstrual products and any other need without shame or secrecy.
This calls for non-profits, development organizations and the government to achieve.
#nationalperiodday#atp_chat
In Kenya a good percentage of girls cannot afford menstrual products. Research stipulates that one in 10girls miss school during their periods affecting their educational and social life.

@Latempestad15 Why should a girl be embarrassed? Its not only her that experiences such. Many other girls across Kenya and the rest of the continent face such humiliation. A time when a girl's world is supposed to open up its dimmed.

Its unfortunate that the girl child in Kenya faces challenges during their menstruations even in this era due to myths, taboos and stigma surrounding the normal biological process of menstruation

A little spill of the red bead, a little stain exposes a girl to the ridicule of peers that may affect her appearance, self-image or esteem throughout her life. There is a need to collect red beads and stop them from leaking

Maintaining a woman's/girls dignity also ensures that sdg 3 is achieved. How? Every person has sustainable access to clean, safe, adequate and equitable
water, sanitation and hygiene services
#ygienicservicesforall#nationalperiodday#atp_chat
Women and girls have the right to maintain dignity during their period days as well as access to menstrual products. Menstruation should never be a hindrance to a normal day to day activity
#atp_chat#nationalperiodday
Action and Hygiene in Menstrual hygiene and health happened to be the theme of the year in regards to world's period day(may 28). Strategic plans and developments should be made towards achieving the same at a national level
