The menstrual cycle is a complex biological process that occurs in women of reproductive age, involving the release of hormones, growth of the uterine lining, and shedding of the lining if fertilization does not occur. Menstrual health encompasses not only the physical aspects of the menstrual cycle, but also the emotional, social, and cultural dimensions that affect women’s overall well-being.
Despite its significance, menstrual health is often surrounded by taboos and stigma, leading to a lack of awareness, education, and access to resources. This proposal seeks to address these gaps by shedding light on the multifaceted role of menstrual health in women’s lives, including its impact on reproductive health, mental health, social relationships, and economic empowerment.
By advocating for menstrual health as a human rights issue and promoting evidence-based practices for menstrual hygiene management, we aim to improve the quality of life and dignity of women and girls worldwide.
