Dita Ndërkombëtare e Higjienës Menstruale

Inspired by the moto #NoMoreLimits and united under the wings of a red watercoloured butterfly, this year, Raven City Production funded by Butterfly Kosovo and UNFPA Kosovo and in partnership with the Ministry of Health, National Institute of Public Health of Kosovo, Stupcat, Deko Solution, and other Kosovo-based businesses created a visibility and awareness campaign about menstruation on Menstrual Hygiene Day.

The aim of this campaign was to highlight the necessity of hygiene during menstruation and improve society’s response towards this biological process which is both linked with women’s and girls’ human rights and gender equality.
