Today, millions of women and girls around the world are stigmatised, excluded and discriminated against simply because they menstruate.
It’s not acceptable that because of a natural bodily function women and girls continue to be prevented from getting an education, earning an income and fully and equally participating in everyday life.
Period poverty affects millions of women worldwide, preventing them from attending school or work and hindering their overall health and well-being. At Advocates for Period Poverty, we believe that access to menstrual products is a basic human right. Learn more about the issue of period poverty and how it impacts women’s lives around the world.
While there is no specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) goal or indicator on menstrual hygiene management (MHM).
Understanding menstrual hygiene management and human rights is a practictioner’s guide on the connection between menstrual hygiene management.
