Promoting Menstrual Health and Hygiene

The session will focus on menstrual hygiene's importance to women's health, covering topics such as understanding the menstrual cycle, best hygiene practices, and the use of sanitary pads. The event will also aim to dispel myths and reduce the stigma surrounding menstruation, creating a safe space for participants to learn and ask questions. By enhancing awareness about menstrual health, the initiative promotes better hygiene practices, contributing to overall health and well-being. Education is a key element of this initiative, aiming to empower girls by providing them with essential knowledge about menstrual health. Understanding menstrual health can reduce school absenteeism and foster a sense of confidence in managing menstrual hygiene. The program supports broader gender equality goals by ensuring girls have access to the information and resources they need to maintain their health and stay in school.
