Menstruation education can change a girl's life. Misconceptions can lead to adolescent girls missing out on important daily activities, including attending school. Nutrition International works to challenge the barriers and stigma that have been passed down through generations of women, enabling #adolescents to become empowered advocates of their own #health and #nutrition. https://lnkd.in/gpP_kWf7
