Ms. Jenny Ali and the team from Women Empowerment Pakistan (WEP) held a productive and promising meeting with Director Primary Education, Mr. Bashir Ahmed Abbasi, and Deputy Director, Ms. Musarrat Noreen.
The discussion focused on strengthening collaboration to advance Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) in government schools across Sindh through a targeted, community-driven awareness campaign based on Behavior Change Communication (BCC) approaches.
The key objectives of this initiative include breaking deep-rooted taboos around menstruation, equipping adolescent girls with accurate knowledge and confidence, promoting safe and dignified menstrual hygiene practices, reducing menstrual-related school absenteeism, and encouraging sustainable behavior change within schools and communities.
Access to proper menstrual health education and support enables girls to overcome barriers related to education, attendance, confidence, and personal growth. This collaboration marks a meaningful step toward creating safe, supportive, and stigma-free learning environments where every girl can learn, grow, and thrive with dignity.
Women Empowerment Pakistan remains committed to strengthening women’s empowerment, girls’ education, and school-based community awareness across Sindh.
