Menstruation is a natural and normal part of every woman’s life, yet it is often shrouded in silence and stigma. Many girls and women around the world still face shame, embarrassment, and discrimination when it comes to their periods. This lack of openness and understanding can have serious consequences for their health, well-being, and overall quality of life.
Promoting menstrual hygiene education and awareness is crucial in breaking the silence and stigma surrounding menstruation. By providing accurate information about menstrual health and hygiene practices, we can empower women and girls to manage their periods with confidence and dignity. This includes educating them about the importance of using hygienic sanitary products, practicing proper menstrual hygiene, and seeking medical care when needed. When we break the silence and stigma around menstruation, we create a more supportive and inclusive environment for women and girls to openly discuss their menstrual health needs.
Join us tomorrow as we break the silence and stigma surrounding menstruation and ensure that every girl at Gbambaya Junior High School can manage her period with dignity and respect.
