Much as it’s women & girls who menstruate, this doesn’t mean that people who don’t shouldn’t know or concern themselves with it .“Menstruation is not a woman’s or girls’ issue but rather a human rights issue.”

More than 800 million people mestruate daily.
The cultural shame attached to menstruation and a shortage of resources stop women from going to school and working every day.
We need to break taboos,end stigma & raise awareness.

Contrary to that belief, the blood you menstruate is just as “clean” as the venous blood that comes from every other part of the body and it's harmless as long as you don't have any bloodborne diseases
Periods are normal!

There are people who still believe that Periods should not be spoken about openly and that’s a shame ! Being comfortable having conversations about menstruation greatly contributes to ending period poverty ,shaming & stigma.etc

A girl getting her period doesn’t mean that she is ready for marriage. We have seen many cases where girls are sold off immediately they start menstruating. This is wrong and we should put an end to child marriage!

‘Menstruation is Dirty’ is a myth in society. Some people still refer to girls as “unclean” during their periods.
Menstruation is a natural process of the body and shouldn’t be stigmatized!

Periods are perfectly normal and not dirty!
Period blood contains no toxins, the uterus lining must clean enough to nurture an embryo, and therefore cannot be toxic.

Period poverty is inadequate access to menstrual health care and sanitation, as well as the stigma and shame surrounding menstruation that prevents menstruating women from fully participating in society.

It’s really unfortunate that some people still believe that Menstruation means that a girl is grown enough to get married or be married off.
She is still a child and it’s our responsibility to protect her .
