Menstruation comes with many misconceptions.

MYTH 1: “Periods are dirty or impure."
FACT:Menstruation is a natural biological process. It’s simply the shedding of the uterine lining – nothing “dirty” about it!
MYTH 2: “You shouldn’t exercise on your period."
FACT:Exercise can actually help relieve cramps and improve mood. There’s no reason to skip it if you feel up for it!

MYTH 3: “People should hide that they’re on their period."
FACT:Talking openly about menstruation can help reduce stigma and normalize periods. Let’s make it okay to discuss this without embarrassment.

Teaching them how to produce their own pads helps to cut down cost and also use something more comfortable with no chemicals side effects.

Together, we can break these myths and embrace menstruation as a healthy, natural part of life. Let’s support and empower each other!

Let’s Talk About It!

Menstruation is a natural, powerful process that every female experiences, yet it's often surrounded by stigma and silence. It's time we break the taboos and create a world where periods are normalized, and everyone has access to the information and resources they need!

Did You Know?
Over 800 million people menstruate daily, yet many lack access to safe products.
The horrors they experience are something that we don’t really talked about.

Education on menstrual health reduces stigma, promotes confidence, and can even improve school attendance for young girls.

On October 15
A three days training was conducted in Bomi county by the Ending Period Poverty team

The first day focuses on
- Menstrual health management, Gabbing on stigmatization and Exploring the female Reproductive System.
Menstrual health isn't just a “women's issue” – it affects entire communities and is key to a healthier, more inclusive society.

Let’s support each other and start conversations about menstrual health with pride and compassion. Whether you menstruate or not, everyone can be a part of the movement toward understanding, acceptance, and change.

A special thanks to the lovely people of Gbah, Bomi county and their leadership.

Thank you to the Department of State for their unwavering support in making this project a success.
