28 MAY MENSTRUAL HYGIENE DAY

On Menstrual Hygiene Day, HER FOUNDATION raises awareness about menstrual hygiene management, its unawareness being one of the major challenges in developing countries. We also provide free products related to menstrual hygiene. We organize open discussions about this topic which we consider a human right. This topic has been subjugated by conservative human societies making things difficult for girls and women who lack awareness. On MHD, we emphasize on:

• Hardships and obstacles women face during their menstrual cycle
• Innovative solutions for countering the challenges
• A movement for the rights of women and making links on a national and global level
• Integrate Menstrual Hygiene Management [MHM] in various policies from rural to global level.
• Awareness about MHM on media channels, print media and social media.
• Awareness, usage and pollution-free disposal of sanitary pads and napkins.

Menstrual Hygiene Day is also an important day for the promotion of gender equality.
