The Keynote Speaker emphasised that religious leaders have a vital role in shaping community understanding of menstruation as a natural and normal process, not a burden or a curse.
We aim to challenge stigma, dispel myths, and shift harmful misconceptions around menstrual health.

He also highlighted the importance of moving beyond framing menstruation as solely a women’s issue. Menstrual justice is a shared responsibility that requires collective action from all of us.

He called upon fellow religious leaders to step forward as champions of change, and urged organisations to equip them with the knowledge and tools needed to lead effectively. Together, we can empower communities, support women and girls, and advance . Foundation for a Just Society
