This Friday, 28 May, the World will commemorate and recognise Menstrual Hygiene Day. In an exciting first-ever collaboration that aims to #BreakTheSilence, particularly for all young women in SA, Salome will be hosting a live virtual event on their Facebook,Instagram and YouTube pages that will see experts in menstruation and the female health space openly discuss menstruation and what is normal and expected and what is not, as well as busting common and cultural myths linked to menstruation.

The objective of this initiative is to create much needed awareness throughout SA around menstruation and menstrual issues to prevent women (particularly school and university students) from suffering in silence and not identifying abnormalities sooner that can be treated.
