As part of efforts to promote Menstrual Health among girls, we brought together over 50 Queen mothers from about 10 districts to engage them on general issues affecting girls in their various districts and communities. One of which includes Menstrual Health. We engaged them on the topic of menstruation and the role they need to play to address stigma and period shaming in their communities. We also explored ways of providing sustainable options or menstrual products for girls to properly manage their periods.
Among the topics we also delved in , includd teenage pregnancy and child marriage. We looked at the drivers of teenage pregnancy and child marriage and how to address them and the roles they need to play as Queen mothers. At the end of the engagement, the queen mothers were super excited because according to them, they have become empowered to be able to address these unique challenges that girls in their communities face. We are positive that this engagement will go a long way to not only address period related issues among girls but will also tremendously minimize teenage pregnancy and child marriage across the various communities in the Upper West region.
