"Millions of women and girls* around the world are prevented from reaching their full potential. Just because they menstruate. On 28 May, we unite to change that. Menstrual Hygiene Day brings together non-profits, governments, the private sector, and millions of individuals. Together, we increase awareness and action towards our common goal: a #PeriodFriendlyWorld. A world where the taboos and stigma surrounding menstruation are history. Where everyone has access to quality menstrual products, period education and period-friendly toilets. But Menstrual Hygiene Day is more than an awareness day.

Good morning all !!!  Today is Menstrual Hygiene Day (MHD). The theme for 2024 is “Together for a #period friendly world”. MHD was initiated by the German non-profit WASH United in 2013. The background for this important day is as follows : Lack of education, ongoing taboos and stigma cause poor menstrual hygiene. A lack of access to clean menstrual products and bad sanitation also contribute. These problems harm the education, health and social status of women and girls worldwide. As a result, millions of women and girls face obstacles to their full potential. Menstrual Hygiene Day (MH Day) is a global campaign. It unites nonprofits, Governments, individuals, businesses and the media. The goal is to promote good menstrual health and hygiene (MHM). MH Day has two key aims : First, it breaks the taboo around menstrual health and hygiene. It raises awareness and shifts negative social norms around MHM. Second, it urges leaders to prioritise and act on MHM at global, national and local levels. Since 2014, MH Day has seen significant growth. For more details on MH Day & the resources, please visit : https://lnkd.in/gWNyRMn Thank you.

Today, May 28, we unite to change that. We join other non-profits, governments, the private sector, and millions of individuals to increase awareness and action towards a common goal: a #PeriodFriendlyWorld. A world where the taboos and stigma surrounding menstruation are history, where everyone has access to quality menstrual products, period education, and period-friendly toilets. But #MenstrualHygieneDay is more than an awareness day. In the past 10 years, the movement has grown tremendously. We look forward to a day where women and girls who menstruate are comfortable during their periods. A day also, when the men and boys around them no longer view periods or treat them in a way that continues the practice of period shame and stigma. Happy Menstrual Hygiene Day!!!

## Breaking the Silence: Let's Talk Menstrual Hygiene 🩸 Menstruation is a natural part of life for half the world's population, yet it remains shrouded in stigma and silence. This can have significant consequences, particularly for girls and women in underprivileged communities, who often lack access to safe and hygienic menstrual products and proper sanitation facilities. **Today, I want to raise awareness about the importance of menstrual hygiene management (MHM).** MHM is essential for women's health, dignity, and education. When girls lack access to proper MHM, they are more likely to miss school, experience health problems, and face social isolation. **Here are some things we can all do to break the silence and promote MHM:** * **Educate ourselves and others:** Learn about the challenges faced by menstruating individuals and the importance of MHM. * **Support organizations:** Donate to or volunteer with organizations working to provide menstrual hygiene products and sanitation facilities in underserved communities. * **Advocate for change:** Speak up against the stigma surrounding menstruation and support policies that promote MHM access. **Together, we can create a world where menstruation is no longer a barrier to opportunity and well-being. Let's #EndPeriodStigma and ensure everyone has access to the resources they need to manage their periods safely and hygienically.** **#MenstrualHygiene #WomensHealth #Equality #BreakTheSilence** By using your platform to raise awareness and advocate for change, you can contribute to a more inclusive and equitable world Here …. I would like to share the whole document of piloting study to know the basic details….

HaqSePeriod - a social initiative by Pee Safe We need people to come forward and intiate the dialogue on Menstrual Hygiene, we are doing our bit but that’s not enough. If you have CSR funds to deploy , please work with various NGOs working on MHM (Menstrual Hygiene Management). If you have house help, drivers, security guards, casual workers etc. - educate them about sanitary pads for themselves or for the women in their family, let’s start educating from home. It’s really sad to see the penetration of Sanitary Pads in India is less than 40%. This May 28th, the World Menstrual Hygiene Day, let’s start the conversations. Let’s eliminate period poverty. P.S - kindly take out time and watch our #HaqSePeriod initiative video. Who knows one of you get motivated to start.

Government of British Columbia has officially declared May 28 as Menstrual Health Day as of today! 🎉 What an amazing step towards menstrual equity in our province. #MHDay is a global advocacy awareness day to create a world where no one is held back because they menstruate. Poor menstrual health caused by persisting taboos and stigma, limited access to menstrual products and poor sanitation infrastructure undermines the educational opportunities, health and overall social status of women, girls, Trans and non-binary people around the world, and right here in BC as well. A local Period Promise public survey respondent feels discouraged by the ongoing stigma and the excessive costs. “It's so frustrating that resources that could possibly help me with this are crazy expensive and it makes it feel like living through your period and being comfortable is somehow a privilege, when it should be a right.” United Way BC is committed to improving access to period products. There’s still time to donate to our Period Promise campaign! www.uwbc.ca/periodpromise #UnitedWayBC #PeriodPoverty #PeriodPromise #MHDay #PeriodFriendlyWorld
