Access to complete menstrual health and hygiene is a basic human right.
We’ve just taken part in a symbolic and meaningful event — another step forward and another domino set in motion in our efforts to advance menstrual health and combat period poverty!
It was the kind of gathering we truly needed. An honest conversation about women's experiences — grounded in knowledge, tenderness, and courage. The starting point was Naomi Watts’ book 'I'm Not Afraid Anymore! Everything They Don’t Tell Us About Menopause' — but what unfolded last night went far deeper.
We’ve just wrapped up a productive and meaningful meeting at the Ministry of National Education, focused on the ongoing and planned initiatives related to the pilot program “Equipping Schools with Menstrual Hygiene Products” — #OkresoweABC.
As part of the next stage of the 'Counseling During the Menopausal Transition' course, midwives are organizing a series of educational meetings in their regions.
This is an opportunity to share knowledge and experience — not only with other midwives, but above all with women seeking reliable information and support during the perimenopausal period.
