schools and menstrual health

Schools play a crucial role in supporting menstrual health by providing education about menstruation, hygiene practices, and dispelling myths. This helps students, especially girls, manage their periods confidently and comfortably, reducing stigma and absenteeism. Facilities like clean, private restrooms and access to menstrual products are essential for maintaining hygiene and dignity. Integrating menstrual health into school programs fosters awareness, promotes gender equity, and supports overall well-being, ensuring students can focus on learning without unnecessary barriers related to menstruation.
