Periods are natural, not shameful 🩸

No woman, girl, or person who menstruates should start their period without knowing what is happening to their body, without access to sanitary products, and without clean, private toilet facilities, especially in schools.

By improving menstrual health and tackling period shame, we can improve girls’ attendance and performance at school, break down taboos around menstruation, raise girls’ self-esteem and enable girls to fully participate in all aspects of society.

Together, we can end period stigma 💥
