Menstrual Hygiene Day is near! Let’s raise awareness about #PeriodPoverty and work toward a world where all menstruators have access to products, dignity, and support. #MenstrualHygieneDay #EndPeriodPoverty #PeriodEquity #PeriodFriendlyWorld

Let’s break the silence, end the stigma, and ensure every girl has access to safe menstrual care. Together, we’re building a #PeriodFriendlyWorld and a #PeriodFriendlyGambia where periods are not a barrier to dignity, education, or opportunity.

Period poverty is the lack of access to menstrual products, education, hygiene facilities, or waste management. It means having to choose between food and pads. It means missing school or work because of something as natural as a period. It means stigma, shame, and silence.

Let’s Talk About Period-Friendly Toilets! A period-friendly toilet means: 1. Access to water & soap 2. Proper disposal bins inside the toilet 3. Clean & private toilets 4. Availability of sanitary products 5. Facilities that are inclusive of all #PeriodFriendlyToilets

When we normalize period 🩸 talk at school, home and in public, we break the silence holding girls back. It starts with a convo. It grows with education. It changes lives. Let’s end the stigma and empower 💪girls to thrive! #MHDay2025 #EndPeriodStigma #PeriodPositivity #SRHR
