Women Empowerment:Awareness on Mensuration Hygiene
Menstrual Health and Hygiene (MHH) is essential to the well-being and empowerment of women and adolescent girls. To effectively manage their menstruation, girls and women require access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities, affordable and appropriate menstrual hygiene materials, information on good practices, and a supportive environment where they can manage menstruation without embarrassment or stigma. Good menstrual hygiene management (MHM) plays a fundamental role in enabling women, girls, and other menstruators to reach their full potential. Poor menstrual health and hygiene is exacerbating social and economic inequalities, negatively impacting their education, health, safety, and human development. When girls and women have access to safe and affordable sanitary materials to manage their menstruation, they decrease their risk of infections. Neglecting to wash hands after changing menstrual products can spread infections, such as hepatitis B and thrush.
