#menstruation STIGMA is inhumane
Given the silence in which #menstruation is being handled in our communities, we intentionally, make efforts to demystify the issue which blocks girls' education
Thx Ellen Masi, thx @IgnatiusNamisi, thx u @katochrysestom & thx @lideisa team🙏
Possible Actions we can take to achieve #GlobalGoals
Help educate children in our community
Empower girls & women around you and promote equality
Create job opportunities, if applicable
Support marginalized& disadvantaged
Avoid using plastic
Act now to achieve #GlobalGoals
If we are to change mindset & have #menstruation normalized to everyone, we must act beyond talking to girls about it
With support from @YALIRLCAlumniUg, I led @lideisa team to teach males in Bushenyi about menstruation
We want sensitive future men @katochrysestom@RMalango2021
"If u educate a man, u educate one person. If u educate a woman, u educate a nation"- Brigham Young
So, whenever I listen 2 girls& boys in schools we visit as @lideisa team on our mission to destigmatize #menstruation, I get hope4 future of #Uganda on gender equality
