Even though about 800 million people are menstruating every day, talking about menstruation is still taboo.🤐
To reignite conversation on menstruation, we decided to ask our friends for their views on a #PeriodFriendlyWorld 🫂 🌍

A card with a pink background and a colour gradient of a yellow circle at the centre of the card radiating out into an fuzzy orange ring. A quote in black text on the left reads “Menstrual health is a human rights issue.” There’s black text below that reads “Dr. Natalia Kanem, UNFPA Executive Director.” A head shot of Dr. Kanem is in the bottom right corner. A white UNFPA logo is in the top right corner.
Every day, millions of women and girls are denied dignified, healthy ways to manage their menstrual cycle 🩸

The conversation featured leaders from refugee-led initiatives, community-based organizations, and humanitarian practitioners working to ensure a #PeriodFriendlyWorld for all.
Every girl and woman deserves accurate information about menstrual hygiene, not whispers, myths, or misinformation.
To get there, we must create safe, judgment-free spaces where girls can speak openly about their periods.

Kayan Leung is at the #WorldMenstrualHygieneDay Indaba. 🩸✊ Down with shame, stigma, and #periodtax! Everyone who menstruates deserves access to sanitary products and education, and menstrual health services. Period.
#PeriodFriendlyWorld #Equality #Dignity
As we mark this year's Menstrual Hygiene Day 🩸, we’re reminded that the conversation must go beyond one day. While Kenya has made progress, many still face stigma & barriers to managing their periods with dignity.

Yesterday, our #Ghana team painted the Mantukwa Community red to raise awareness on #MenstrualHygieneDay.
They organised events to counter the taboos that are common around menstruation in the community and handed out sanitary kits to schoolgirls.
#KeepGirlsInSchool #PeriodFriendlyWorld
Menstruation is still met with silence & stigma, leaving many girls unprepared & anxious. With 5 years to go on the SDGs, it's time to prioritize menstrual health as key to advancing SRHR & equity.

Today is World Menstrual Health Day.
Periods should never be a barrier to dignity, education, or opportunity — but for millions of girls and women around the world, they still are.
Access to menstrual health is a human right.
📢 It’s time for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld.
#HerHealthHerPower
First post here to share findings from our #MenstrualHealth trial - a big effort by a big team over many years (now somehow summarized in just 4,000 words!)
I think it raises some important questions about the 'why' of improving menstrual health. Lots more to unpack soon!

This image has one pink reusable menstrual pad chosen in 3 ways, open, closed in the front, closed in the back. There is information about the pad - 17cm wide, 28cm long, 7cm when snapped together, sewn channel around the edge to trap fluids and prevent leaks, fleece for softness and quick absorption, and a snap button to hold the wings in place
It's the 10th Menstrual Hygiene Day! www.cotiuganda.org/cotiffa/ #PeriodFriendlyWorld #periodpoverty
At Legal Momentum, we believe in a #PeriodFriendlyWorld because no one should have to struggle to manage their period. Access to clean, safe facilities and essential menstrual products is a basic right.🎈❤️
