Together with @MEMPROW1 in commemoration of menstrual hygiene day we have been able to have a conversation on how far we have come to solve period poverty and what can be done to ensure that all girls can fully access menstrual hygiene products.”menstruation is a natural order”

Joan Akakikunda @ShallonAinembabazi Nanjobe Joan Elliot Orizaarwa Mulwana Florence COGEuganda To me menstrual justice means avoidance of oppression of menustrating girls and women because they menustrate

Joan Akakikunda @ShallonAinembabazi Nanjobe Joan Elliot Orizaarwa Mulwana Florence COGEuganda These opressions include bias in cultures,stigma,lack of access to menstrual materials . In otherwards ending things which make menustration a curse rather than a blessing for women

Answer this question with us WEGCDA Why do women suffer more from the effects of plastic and how can they be protected? Plastic as Gender Issue.

Elliot Orizaarwa WEGCDA Poor disposal of plastic pollutes soil and water bodies yet women and girls are the most users of those productive resources.

Women's rights are human rights. They are not negotiable. Women & girls everywhere deserve a life of dignity & respect. UN Women works to promote gender equality & women's empowerment around the world. unwomen.org/en
