Menstrual health is a health, rights and justice issue and should be a part of all national planning processes, especially during climate crisis.

This was the sentiment shared today at the Fiji Women’s Rights Movement’s annual Lets Talk Periods Festival! organised in Nasinu with around 200 women, girls and men from various communities in the central division.

Held with the theme “Period Justice in a Climate Crisis” the event was opened by the Director and Representative of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Pacific Island Countries Bidisha Pillai who said challenges continued to be experienced by over 1.9 billion women and girls across the globe for whom menstruation is a normal and healthy part of life.

"I believe that young women need to be seen not as vulnerable groups in the climate crisis. Rather, we need to be seen as architects of resilience, solution bringers, and decision makers in these spaces."

This was highlighted by Sigalima Bola of the Young Feminist Network (YFemN) during the Let's Talk Period! festival panel discussion on "Period Justice in Climate Crisis." Ms. Bola also stressed that young women have long been viewed as vulnerable groups during the climate crisis and that needs to change. She says that young women need to be seen as architects of change, solution bringers and decision-makers in spaces that concerns them.

This event was supported by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through UNFPA Pacific and Women's Fund Fiji.

"Humanitarian preparedness and response plans should explicitly include menstrual and menopause needs from the outset. This means ensuring access to menstrual products, clean water, sanitation facilities, pain management, and appropriate healthcare services, as well as recognise the needs of peri-menopausal and menopausal women.” - FWRM's Executive Director, Nalini Singh at the Let's Talk Period! festival panel on "Period Justice in Climate Crisis."

Nalini also highligted that Governments, humanitarian agencies, and donors must establish clear commitments, indicators, and reporting mechanisms related to menstrual health, sexual and reproductive health, and gender equality during emergencies.

"Today, we are reminded of a simple reality: biology doesn't pause for a cyclone warning and menstruation does not stop when a drought dries up a creek or when communities are recovering from disaster."

This was highlighted by the keynote speaker for the Let's Talk Period! festival, Ms. Bidisha Pillai, the Director & Representative of the UNFPA Pacific Island Countries.
