Uganda Youth and Adolescents Health Forum will be using this month to document and share different stories on menstrual hygiene management through new media. This will be done through podcasts, videos, comic stories which will all highlight the different issues that girls go through during menstruation.
In order to ensure a holistic approach to advocating for girls’ rights to experience menstruation with dignity, the media will also include voices of boys, teachers, parents and government officials.
For girls and women to enjoy their rights, we must all put our hands together to build a supportive world for them.
As a climax to our events this month, we shall also have a photo story exhibition showing the different issues surrounding menstrual health management. This will be shared at the annual national MHM symposium on May 28th 2019.
