The issue of poor menstrual hygiene is one that have not been given the needed attention, many young girls and women, especially those in the rural areas are mostly the worst hit and this is caused by lack of education, persisting taboos, stigma, limited access to hygienic menstrual products and poor sanitation.
WEPBI through it’s One girl one pad project, visited Community Secondary School Obeagu Awkunanaw, in Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State, in commemoration of world menstrual hygiene day, to educate the students on the need to ensure good menstrual hygiene before, during and after periods.
Sanitary pads were also distributed to the students to support them towards ensuring and maintaining good menstrual hygiene practices.
TOGETHER WE CAN END PERIOD POVERTY!
