On 14th July, our team conducted a Menstrual Hygiene Education session at Piisi Junior High School, bringing together both male and female students for an inclusive and interactive engagement.
1. The session focused on key topics such as:
2. Myths and misconceptions surrounding menstruation
3. Understanding the menstrual cycle
4. Practical tips for managing menstruation hygienically and safely
5. Tackling period stigma and promoting open, respectful conversations among peers
As part of our commitment to menstrual equity, we also distributed sanitary pads to girls, particularly those who have begun menstruating and may lack access to these essential supplies.
The session was highly interactive, with students actively participating, asking questions, and sharing their perspectives. This open dialogue highlighted the importance of involving both boys and girls in menstrual health education to foster empathy, reduce stigma, and build supportive school environments.
