WUZDA Ghana is comemorating the 2025 Menstrual Hygiene Day (MHD), by raising awareness of adolescents in basic schools and teenage mothers. This is essential for promoting health, confidence, and equal opportunities for girls and young women. Menstruation is a natural and necessary part of life, yet too many people encounter barriers due to stigma, misinformation, and a lack of access to proper hygiene.
This Menstrual Hygiene Day, let’s unite for a #PERIOD FRIENDLY WORLD, ensuring that every adolescent girl and boy comprehends the significance of menstrual health.
What every student should know & practice:
✅ Respect & Support: Break the stigma! Encourage open conversations about periods and show empathy to those experiencing them.
✅ Hygiene First: Regularly change sanitary pads, tampons, or menstrual cups, and maintain proper personal hygiene.
✅ Safe Spaces: Schools and communities must provide clean facilities, waste disposal options, and access to menstrual products.
✅ Education for All: Boys should learn about menstruation too; it’s about health, not gender. Empower yourself with knowledge!
✅ Inclusivity Matters: Teenage mothers need extra care, and supporting menstrual health is part of maternal well-being.
Let’s work together to create environments where menstruation is discussed without shame, and where everyone has the resources they need to manage their periods with dignity.
