[Curious Minds Ghana @cmghana]

Child labour continues to affect the lives, education, and future opportunities of many young people. But what if communities, institutions, and young people themselves could work together to change that reality?

Curious Minds is working with UNICEF Ghana and other stakeholders to empower young people through civic engagement and skills development to help address the root causes of child labour and create pathways to brighter futures.

Read our latest blog to discover how this project is bringing together young people, community leaders, and institutions to drive meaningful change.

To Gov't: thank you for hearing us. To our partners & allies: thank you for standing with us. To every girl still waiting to be reached by this policy: we have not forgotten you. The fight continues until every girl, everywhere in Ghana, menstruates with dignity. #DontTaxMyPad

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Today, 28th May 2026, is #MHDay2026 & the #DontTaxMyPad campaign stands three years strong. We honour the progress and we hold the line on accountability. We demand that no girl in Ghana be left behind. #PeriodFriendlyWorld @bongaamwine_z @mohgovgh @_GHSofficial @ghana_service

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

To every girl in Ghana who has ever missed school, missed work or missed out because of her period, this campaign is 4 U. We celebrate the progress % we will fight for your full inclusion. You deserve dignity every day of every month. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 @AsieduLevlyn

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Only 0.1% of fathers talk to their children about menstruation. Policy wins mean little without cultural change. Gov't must invest in menstrual health education, in homes, in schools and in communities. Break the silence. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 #PeriodFriendlyWorld @mohgovgh

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Development partners @UNFPAGhana, @UNICEFGhana, @EU, @unwomenafrica etc, we call on you to support gov’t in building a national menstrual health programme that reaches all girls, everywhere. The policy framework exists, now it needs resources and reach. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Period poverty costs Ghana's economy through lost school days, reduced productivity & undermined human capital. Investing in comprehensive menstrual health is not charity, it is economic policy. Gov't invest in girls. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 #GhanaSDGs @CSOPlatformSDG

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Menstrual health is a WASH issue. Girls need pads & clean washrooms and handwashing facilities and private disposal systems. A comprehensive national menstrual health strategy must address the full ecosystem of need. Government, lead this. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Access to a pad is only half the battle. Girls need safe, clean, private toilets at school too. No water, no proper disposal = no dignity. Invest in WASH infrastructure NOW! #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 #PeriodFriendlyWorld @DManortey @Sweety_Jemaimah @_GHSofficial @arhrghana

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Bureaucratic delays in pad distribution are already being reported by schools. A policy that arrives late is a policy that fails girls. The gov't must streamline distribution mechanisms and ensure pads reach classrooms, not just warehouses. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 @cmghana

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Ghana has 15,000+ schools. Equitable distribution of free sanitary pads requires real-time data, community feedback mechanisms, and transparent reporting. We call on the @ghana_service to publish monthly distribution data publicly. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 #PeriodFriendlyWorld

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Menstrual equity is not a school issue. It is a human rights issue. Every woman and girl in Ghana regardless of her educational status has the right to manage her period safely and with dignity. Policy must reflect that. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 #PeriodFriendlyWorld

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Community health workers & CHPS compounds must be equipped to distribute free or subsidized pads in rural and peri-urban communities not just in schools. This is how you reach the girl the school system has left behind. Government, fund it. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Out-of-school girls in deprived communities are invisible to most social protection programmes. They should not be invisible to Ghana's menstrual health response. We call on the gov't to design targeted outreach for girls outside the formal school system. #DontTaxMyPad

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

Girls in TVET programmes & apprenticeship deserve menstrual dignity just as much as girls in senior high school. The free pad programme must be extended to technical and vocational institutions NOW! Government, close the gap. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 #NoGirlLeftBehind

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

A 17-year-old girl in a hairdressing apprenticeship in #Kumasi does not benefit from the free pad policy. She cannot afford GH₵20 a month. She misses 2–3 days of training every cycle. This is period poverty & it is policy-fixable. Gov’t please act!. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

The free sanitary pad policy reaches schoolgirls. But what about the estimated 1.8 million girls & young women in Ghana NOT in formal school? They menstruate too but are not covered. They also need free sanitary pads. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 #PeriodFriendlyWorld @cmghana

[Archibald Adams @neearchie]

In sub-Saharan Africa, 1 in 10 girls misses school during her period. In Ghana, absenteeism due to menstruation has been recorded at up to 59% in some areas. This is not biology, it is a policy failure. #DontTaxMyPad #MHDay2026 #EndPeriodPoverty. @AsieduLevlyn @nana_afoe
