Join Us This Menstrual Hygiene Day to Create a Period Friendly World!
May 28th is Menstrual Hygiene Day,a massive, global movement that champions dignity, health, and equality for all who menstruate. It’s a day dedicated to empowering women and girls worldwide by inspiring conversation and action surrounding menstrual hygiene.
This year’s theme, “Together for a Period Friendly World,” highlights the fact that it takes a global effort to promote good menstrual health and hygiene, and dispel harmful taboos and stigmas. Achieving this goal takes the efforts of many, and we’d love for you to help us at PridePads Africa as we work towards a world in which no one is held back because they menstruate.
There are many ways you can be part of the change:
- Start the conversation: Let’s normalize talking about periods through open, honest conversations that help shatter the stigma of menstrual hygiene and foster understanding.
- Advocate for progress: Speak up! Now is the time to reach out to your local leaders and policy makers. Ask them to support free period products in schools, remove taxation on menstrual supplies, and work to ensure comprehensive menstrual health information for all.
- Support the Movement: There’s no one “right way” to help - you can donate, share our mission on social media, or attend an event. Your involvement helps build a more period-friendly world.
This Menstrual Hygiene Day, we invite you to stand with us to create a period friendly world.
Let’s make Menstrual Hygiene Day the spark that ignites a worldwide conversation about menstruation. Together, we will ensure everyone who menstruates has the education, resources, and support they deserve.
With appreciation and gratitude,
The PridePads Africa Board of Directors
