May 28th marks an important date on our calendars: World Menstrual Hygiene Day. This day is dedicated to breaking the silence, raising awareness, and changing negative social norms surrounding menstrual health and hygiene. It's a day that underscores the importance of good menstrual hygiene management and highlights the challenges that women and girls face due to menstruation.

Why Menstrual Hygiene Day Matters

Menstrual Hygiene Day aims to create a world where no woman or girl is held back because of her period. Despite being a natural biological process, menstruation is often shrouded in taboo and stigma, leading to significant barriers in education, health, and social equality. Many girls and women face issues such as:

- Lack of Access to Sanitary Products: Millions of women and girls worldwide lack access to affordable, hygienic menstrual products, which can lead to health issues and missed opportunities.

- Insufficient Education: In many cultures, menstruation is not openly discussed, resulting in a lack of education about menstrual health and hygiene.

- Stigmatization and Isolation: Taboos and myths surrounding menstruation can lead to social exclusion and discrimination.

By celebrating this day, we promote understanding and support for menstrual health and hygiene, and encourage everyone to join the conversation to demystify period taboos.
