Take Action

On average a woman menstruates for about 7 years during their lifetime.

Globally, 2.3 billion people lack basic sanitation services - making managing periods at home a major challenge.

Poor menstrual hygiene can pose physical health risks and has been linked to reproductive complications.

Educating girls before their first period (and educating boys as well) on menstruation, builds confidence, contributes to social solidarity and encourages healthy habits.
