What is period equity?

A society which has access to:

💜Products, facilities, and healthcare to manage a period and menstrual health.

🩸Universal education about menstrual health.

☮️Freedom from stigma and discrimination that restricts access and choices.

We believe in a world where no one is held back by their period!💜

With support from Irise International & BFSS our journey towards creating #PeriodPositive in public schools & surrounding communities continues. Delivering menstrual health education sessions and reusable sanitary towels distribution. #Menstrualjusticeforall

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places.

See a GP if you have symptoms of endometriosis, especially if they’re having a big impact on your life.

Symptoms are extreme period pain and symptoms, and heavy bleeding.

Amazing to see💜🙌 Irise Institute East Africa
