In honour of World Menstrual Hygiene Day, we had Daniella Cole create this beautiful piece that explains the struggles of women and girls everywhere.

Today, we advocate for a world where women and girls of all ages and race and situation experience good menstrual hygiene

[Girls and Goals Initiative @GirlsnGoals_]

It’s World Menstrual Hygiene Day!!!

And we celebrate every girl and woman who bleeds.

Remember your period is not dirty. Your period is nothing to be ashamed of.

This article explains the perspective many women are living with daily, the fear, the calculations, and the emotional weight.
Before forming strong opinions, let’s seek understanding.

I’ve realized that when people can’t relate to an experience, it becomes easy to question or dismiss it.
Right now, many women are genuinely afraid for their safety. Yet I still hear: “Who is scaring women?” 🧵

That instinct, “what if she’s lying?” may seem small, but it discourages others from speaking up.
It adds another layer of psychological trauma and silence.

Almost every woman I know personally has been sexually assaulted at some point in their lives. You can't think it's okay to shut people up from speaking up about assault because some people lie. If you lie, you should face consequences - but that's not the conversation I'm having. Nor is it one I'm interested in having. How many of your male friends have they lied against? How many of your friends have actually assaulted women as vibes?? Women are terrified to go out. Women in their homes are not safe either. Ask your sisters. Ask your female friends and your girlfriends. Ask your wives. We're not all crazy. STOP RAPING WOMEN!!

[Simi @SympLySimi]

Men should hold other men accountable. Many of you create safe spaces for your friends' perverted and wicked behavior because "I'm not like that". I take a fucking pepper spray when I walk outside alone or with my daughter. Do you think I'm scared of other women? If you're not a rapist and people calling out rapists bother you, you need to sit and have a conversation with yourself. Because why are you triggered if you're not guilty???

Across Nigeria, millions of people living with limb loss are not limited by ability; they are limited by mobility, access, bias, and silence.

Pls help me share until it reaches that optununu Tinubu minister that said his village people abuses AEDC light by leaving fridge switched on for 8hrs thus the need to further increase tariff 😏

[Chen Education & Development Empowerment (CEDE) @cedevng]

For many of our beneficiaries, losing an upper or lower meant losing mobility, independence, confidence, and sometimes even a sense of belonging. What used to be simple became difficult. What used to be fair suddenly felt unforgiving. #CEDE #CEDEV #ChenEducationAndDevelolment

[Chen Education & Development Empowerment (CEDE) @cedevng]

When you lose a limb, life doesn’t just change; it becomes heavier. Every step, every task, every glance from society reminds you that survival now requires twice the strength. #CEDE #CEDEV #ChenEducationAndDevelolment #TransformingLives #ProstheticsForProgress

What changed their lives wasn’t pity. It was access.
Through prosthetic support by @cedevng dignity and work became possible again.

Disability can happen to anyone.
No warning. No preparation.
One day, you’re working and living your life.
The next day, everything changes.
