International Menstrual Hygiene Day

International Menstrual Hygiene Day, observed on May 28th each year, aims to raise awareness about the importance of proper menstrual hygiene and address the social, health, and economic challenges related to menstruation. The day promotes education, access to sanitary products, and the breaking down of stigma surrounding menstruation. By doing so, it encourages healthier practices, empowers women and girls, and works toward gender equality. The goal is to ensure that menstruation does not hinder anyone’s opportunities or well-being, fostering a more inclusive and informed society.
