The stigma surrounding menstruation exacerbates the feelings of embarrassment and depression experienced by many people facing period poverty. As we #Hike4GirlsUg I believe that open & honest conversations are critical to breaking the cycle of #PeriodPoverty and #MenstrualStigma .
Standing Together in solidarity to empower young girls and support them to menstruate with dignity and respect:
We appreciate Your daily efforts towards ending #MenstrualStigma

#PeriodPoverty and #MenstrualStigma harm girls’ development and #HumanRights . Yesterday in Agbobloshie I met these amazing young women educating their friends on adolescent health thanks to French Government support. Australia and France are on the same page on #GenderEquality .
Periods are a normal bodily function. We don't have to be ashamed of them and talk more about them. Our #confidencekit is one of the tools used at the forefront of the fight against #MenstrualStigma . Especially among rural girls...
#PeriodPoverty #MenstrualHealthForAll
Hiking for a good cause.
The well being of a Girl Child.

#MenstrualStigma remains pervasive in many societies, where a culture of silence creates barriers for adolescent girls to manage their menstruation in a safe and dignified manner. This is not only a health concern but is intrinsically linked to social justice and gender equality.
Period equity lies at the core of women's public health. Adolescents who depend on schools for product are no longer able to access these supplies. Our mission is to tackle #PeriodPoverty by getting products to people in need while also educating about ending #MenstrualStigma
These young girls in Kisoro were supported with Sanitary products after the #Hike4GirlsUg event.
Their lives will definitely not remain the same.
We appreciate Gejja Women Foundation for donating the Sanitary products.
Thank you so much:

Men can help break the stigma and taboos surrounding periods by becoming more informed about them. Men can help create a more inclusive and understanding society where women are not ashamed or embarrassed to talk about their menstrual cycles.
