#NoGirlShouldMissSchoolBecauseOfPeriods

One in five adolescent girls in Uganda misses school due to menstruation and period poverty.

Something must change. We have suggestions:

Developing regional guidelines can help standardize quality, safety, and sustainability while creating an enabling environment for manufacturers.

A clear policy should outline production standards, certification pathways, and support mechanisms, such as capacity building, financing, and market access, to strengthen local production and ensure dignity for all. #MHSymposiumUG

HappeningNow: The Menstrual Health Symposium under the theme “Driving Standards & Policy Reform for Affordable Menstrual Products.”
The symposium brings together key stakeholders to strengthen standards, policy & markets for affordable menstrual products in Uganda. #MHSymposiumUG

On innovation in the menstrual health space, another investment opportunity is digital solutions that help girls understand and track their periods, built for both online and offline use.
#MHSymposiumUG

In a country where many girls live in areas with limited connectivity, apps and tools that work offline are essential. Pair that with SMS-based reminders, community health education content, and local language support — and you have a tool that can genuinely change how girls relate to their bodies.

Did you know?
64% of girls in Uganda miss school because of menstruation.

Affordable, safe & quality menstrual products make it easier for girls to access education. No girl should lose her education to her period.

Working with girls with hearing impairment showed just how important intentional communication and accessible information really are.
Menstrual health support must be designed in ways that ensure no girl is left behind. #MHSymposiumUG

[UNFPA in Uganda @UNFPAUganda]

Learners from Kira SS & Uganda School for the Deaf Ntinda sharing how access to menstrual health information & products has boosted their confidence & mental wellbeing. Their voices at #MHSymposiumUG remind us that dignity and support help girls show up, participate & thrive.
