Join us in observing National Menstrual Health Awareness Month this May! This toolkit is crafted to help individuals and organizations increase awareness and understanding of menstrual health challenges. It includes educational graphics, impactful social media posts, and suggested hashtags.
Why?
Menstruation is a natural biological process, yet it is shrouded in silence and stigma in many cultures. This stigma has a profound impact on the lives of women, girls, and those who menstruate, affecting their health, education, well-being, and access to equality. Throughout the month of May and year-round, we aim to highlight these issues and encourage open discussions that challenge these harmful perceptions and promote inclusivity.
