A Menstrual Stigma And Health Awareness Campaign

There is growing attention to addressing the menstrual hygiene management (MHM) needs of the over 21 million displaced adolescent girls and women globally.
In episode 2 of our #KunyeshaBilaShame menstrual health & stigma awareness campaign, we feature Ann Nyandeng, an urban refugee from Kakuma refugee camp. She shares her experience with menstruation, how her Sudanese culture celebrates girls after their first period to inspire confidence as they face the changes in their bodies.
However, she shares that the experience is different for other girls from different cultures who suffer in silence due to stigma & fear of speaking out & asking for help.
Some of the fear comes from lack of awareness about the importance of creating safe space for the girls to speak out or lack of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities, including more female-friendly toilets which should enable spaces for menstruating girls and women to change, dispose of, wash and dry menstrual materials in the camps.
Ann has done female-led consultation for other girls in the camp to embrace & be confident about managing menstruation given her different experiences that her culture gave her.
We believe that championing #CircularityInMenses will drive the innovation of bio-degradable or re-usable products that do not pollute the environment as well.
