@AjendaKenya @pcommunityinit1 They can do more to ensure every girl has comprehensive menstrual education, good quality and adequate supplies. #MHDay2021#MenstrualHygieneDay
@AjendaKenya @pcommunityinit1 Schools closed. All the girls who were receiving products in school, went several months without supplies. Income in homes was reduced, many people couldn't afford products. #MHDay2021#MenstrualHygieneDay
@AjendaKenya @pcommunityinit1 They should be period positive. Reduce period stigma, provide supplies , encourage them to keep a period diary, and believe them and take them to hospital if they say it hurts. #MHDay2021#MenstrualHygieneDay2021#MHM2021
@AjendaKenya @pcommunityinit1 Not all flows are the same. We need to ensure that the girl who has a heavy flow also has access to enough supplies for her to change often. Many girls dont have enough,they are forced to stretch the products or improvise which leaves them vulnerable to infections. #MHDay2021
