Consumer Advocacy and Empowerment Foundation (CADEF), in collaboration with Civil Society Health Watch (CSHW) will be taking the message of Menstrual Hygiene to select secondary schools in Lagos State and Enugu State Nigeria, while also teaching girls the importance of checking the standards of the sanitary products they purchase and their responsibility of proper disposal of used pads.
As part of the activities of the campaign, we shall also be teaching these school girls how to make reusable sanitary pads. This is to ensure that they have alternative sources of protection at all times.
The launch of this campaign will be on the 26th of May in Community Secondary School, Akwuke, Enugu State Nigeria and we plan to involve the media to cover these events.
