About Menstrual Hygiene Day
Safety & Security
Ends: May 28, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
Menstruation is a normal biological process, wherein about 800 million women and girls menstruates on any given day. Yet, periods continue to be shrouded in taboos and myths. Women and girls continue to be stigmatized and excluded. The combination of negative social norms, poor education, lack of access to hygiene products, inadequate sanitation infrastructure and disposal options have severe consequences on the health, education and employment opportunities, and on overall social status of women and girls.
In order to change this, WASH United started Menstrual Hygiene Day in 2014. Since then, it has grown into a veritable movement, with more than 420 partner organizations globally. In 2017, there were 350 MH Day events in 54 countries of which 67 were in India alone. MH Day reached more than 160 million people through digital campaigning alone.
In India, 50% of girls have no knowledge about menstruation and when they get their period, it leads to fear and poor menstrual hygiene practices. Education about menstruation and menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is critical to empower girls to manage their menstruation safely, hygienically, with confidence and without stigma.
