The Menstrual Hygiene Day

Menstrual Hygiene Day, observed annually on May 28, aims to raise awareness about the importance of good hygiene during menstruation. It emphasizes breaking taboos, promoting access to menstrual products, sanitation facilities, and education, to support the health, dignity, and empowerment of women and girls. Proper menstrual hygiene helps prevent infections and enables girls to participate fully in daily activities, including education and work. The day also highlights global disparities in access to menstrual health resources, encouraging governments, communities, and individuals to take action toward a healthier, more equitable future.
