Menstruation is an integral and normal part of human life, indeed of human existence. Menstrual hygiene is fundamental to the dignity and wellbeing of women and girls and an important part of the basic hygiene, sanitation and reproductive health services to which every woman and girl has a right. Globally, approximately 52% of the female population (26% of the total population) is of reproductive age. Most of these women and girls will menstruate each month for between two and seven days.
Menstruation is a natural part of the reproductive cycle, however, in most parts of the world, it remains taboo and is rarely talked about. As a result, the practical challenges of menstrual hygiene are made even more difficult by various socio-cultural factors. Such circumstances have continued to deprive young girls and women of their potential to exercise their right to health, education and dignity.
The PAD A GIRL campaign aimed at reaching out to 650 girls and young mothers directly and more than 3,250 indirectly at a ratio of 1:5 with update Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) information complimented with sustainable reusable pads and also support girls to keep in school. Others include;
