Open Dialogue and Interactive Q&A Session on Menstrual Health Held in Barishal

To raise awareness on menstrual health and challenge common misconceptions, an interactive discussion titled “Menstrual Health: Open Dialogue and Interactive Question & Answer Session” was held at the AVAS Training Centre in Barishal.

The event was organized by RedOrange under the Youth Share-Net Project as part of the Local Youth and SRHR Network Formation initiative, with support from AmplifyChange and implementation by Association of Voluntary Actions for Society (AVAS).

The programme brought together young people, health professionals, educators, community representatives, journalists, and local stakeholders for an open discussion on menstrual health, nutrition, hygiene, social attitudes, and the role of youth in promoting positive change.

A special Menstrual Health and Nutrition Corner showcased nutritious foods rich in iron, vitamins, folate, and protein, highlighting the importance of balanced nutrition during menstruation.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Shahidul Islam, Director of Advocacy and Communication, AVAS, emphasized that menstrual health is a natural and essential health issue that requires open discussion and accurate information.

Participants reaffirmed their commitment to promoting menstrual health awareness, creating supportive social environments, and strengthening youth leadership in advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).

Together, we can break stigma, promote knowledge, and build healthier communities for all.
