We plan to organize a workshop with 15 adolescent girls. The objective of this program is to enhance the knowledge of these girls on menstrual health and the importance of propper menstrual hygiene management. Specifically, we want to;
– improve access to menstrual hygiene products and education
– Reduce period stigma, taboos and shaming
– Improve access to safe hygienic spaces where women and girls can manage their menstruation with dignity.
We will bring together 15 adolescent girls between the 10 to 17years, made of those who are yet to experience menstruation and those who are already menstruating. We want to hear those who are already menstruating share their experiences so that others can learn from them and to encourage those who are yet to menstruate to see period as a normal fact in the life of women.
