Building a #PeriodFriendlyWorld means investing in supportive systems where girls can manage menstruation safely, confidently and with dignity.
Today, we continue to amplify the voices of young women leaders advancing this conversation across Africa.

[Education Plus Initiative @EducPlus2025]

Periods should never interrupt a girl’s education, health or future.
On #MenstrualHygieneDay, we reaffirm the importance of investing in menstrual health, period-friendly schools and supportive environments where girls and young women can learn, lead and thrive with dignity.

Denying SRHR in a crisis is a denial of humanity. @UNFPA is working across East and Southern Africa to ensure no woman is left behind.

A girl growing up today risks having fewer rights than her mother, and in some cases, even her grandmother. The time for change is now⏰

“Tackling this issue...means creating conditions where girls and young women can thrive – by ensuring they can stay in school, be protected from violence & coercion, access sexual & reproductive health services that uphold their rights, and have real choices about their futures.”

"Early pregnancies can have serious physical and psychological consequences for girls and young women, and often reflect fundamental inequalities that affect their ability to shape their relationships and their lives" - Dr Pascale Allotey @WHO Director.

🌍 34 African countries spend more on debt than healthcare.
As finance ministers travel to the US this week for #WBGMeetings, courage and cooperation on debt relief & fair taxation are essential.
The cost of inaction? Lives lost.
