For years, these stories lived quietly in folded cloth wrapped in silence, shame, confusion and a lack of menstrual products.
Under a tree, parents unfolded those memories and shared them aloud for the first time, hoping their children and future generations will experience periods with dignity, knowledge and support.
Because some stories are told not for the past, but to change the future.

Mothers and fathers sharing what it was to have a period 30 years ago and the old cloths , less access to products and silence . They broke the silence for their kids and for all menstruators around the world .

28/05/2026

Under the tree, we shared stories many girls are forced to carry in silence. 🩸
Stories of fear, confusion, shame, old cloths, missing school and navigating first periods without support or information.
Today, these women wrote on cloths the experiences they never want their daughters and future generations to go through again. Each word carries pain, strength, hope and a promise for change.
This Menstrual Hygiene Day, we are reminding the world that periods should never stop a girl from learning, growing, dreaming or living with dignity.
We want a future where:
✨ Every menstruator has access to safe menstrual products
✨ Every child receives menstrual education without shame
✨ Period poverty becomes history
✨ Conversations about menstruation happen openly and freely
Because changing the story starts with speaking about it. ❤️

“Menstruation is not a barrier, a shame or a weakness it is life itself. we raise our voices for dignity, education, access and equality. Every menstruator deserves the freedom to manage her period safely, confidently and without stigma, because periods should never hold dreams back.”

A name change, but also a shift in how women’s health is understood.
For years, Polycystic O***y Syndrome was reduced to a name that centered “cysts,” even though many living with it never had ovarian cysts at all. That name often narrowed conversations, delayed diagnosis and overlooked the full reality of the condition.
Now that it is officially recognized as a Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome a name that finally acknowledges what many have been saying for years: this is not just about ovaries. It’s a complex endocrine and metabolic condition that impacts the whole body.
This matters because language shapes care.
A correct name can mean earlier diagnosis, better research, stronger advocacy and healthcare that sees the full experience instead of just one symptom.
For millions, this is more than a new acronym.
It is recognition.
It is being understood more fully.
And that matters.

Teaching self-defense without teaching about SGBV leaves girls knowing how to fight, but not always understanding the violence they may face. Teaching about SGBV without self-defense can leave girls aware, but still feeling powerless.
Through conversations on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV),young people learned about consent, boundaries, abuse, safety and the importance of using their voices. Through self-defense and boxing sessions, they learned confidence, awareness, protection and the power that already exists within them.

Because empowerment is not only about awareness it is also about preparation.
It is about raising girls who can recognize violence, speak against it, protect themselves and stand strong for one another.
Watching them train, laugh, learn and grow stronger together was a reminder that creating safe spaces for young people can change lives.

We are not just teaching girls how to survive.
We are teaching them that they deserve safety, respect and power.
