Period Friendly World!

Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024
Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024

Thank you for your donations to this project!  Brighter Communities Worldwide works hard all year round to break the taboos surrounding menstruation and to raise awareness about the challenges facing girls and women when they don’t have access to education, menstrual products and appropriate sanitation facilities.   

 Menstrual Hygiene Day is marked on May 28th every year (MH Day) is a global advocacy platform that brings together non-profits, government agencies, individuals, the private sector and the media to promote good menstrual health and hygiene (MHH).

More specifically, MH Day aims to –

  • Break the taboo around menstrual health and hygiene.
  • Raise awareness and shift negative social norms around Menstrual Health and Hygiene.
  • Urge leaders to prioritise and act on Menstrual Health and Hygiene at global, national and local levels.

Celebrating the day provides us with the chance to come together to show our commitment towards raising awareness and sharing information about menstrual hygiene. This was very clear during celebrations at Londiani Boys High School on 28th May 2024 where a total of 616 participants were in attendance (322F, 294 M) gathered for workshops and games, learning about menstrual health, discussing issues, participating in making their own sanitary towels using locally available materials and learning about proper care for the kits.

 The theme for this year’s Menstrual Hygiene day was Together for a “#PeriodFriendlyWorld.”In a #PeriodFriendlyWorld, the stigma and taboo surrounding menstruation are history. It is a world where everyone can access the products, education and infrastructure they need. A world where menstruation is embraced as a natural and integral part of life, rather than shrouded in secrecy and shame. From all over the world, we stand, we work, we fight together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld.
