Menstrual Hygiene Day is celebrated on the 28 of April every year. It is a day which rallies in raising awareness about menstrual health across the world. This year theme is ‘Action and Investment in Menstrual Hygiene and Health.”
The aim of this day is to change the social stigma and taboos associated with menstruation. To create social awareness about maintaining menstrual hygiene, the WASH United, a German non-profit advocacy and education group launched Menstrual Hygiene Day in 2014.
To commemorate the day, AOAF visited Chika community. And with the support of Aids Health Foundation, we were able to distribute sanitary pads to adolescent girls and young women in the community.
