Menstrual Hygiene Day
RYMI mentees joined global voices and actions in 2020 to begin to advocate for Menstrual Health. In collaboration with a female entrepreneur, Curlissa GiftShop launched a pre-menstrual kit campaign to “Preparing girls for their first period” in 2022. Menstrual Hygiene Day (MH Day) is a global advocacy platform that brings together the voices and actions of non-profits, government agencies, individuals, the private sector, and the media to promote good menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) for all women and girls. Poor menstrual hygiene caused by a lack of education on the issue, persisting taboos, and stigma, limited access to hygienic menstrual products, and poor sanitation infrastructure undermines the educational opportunities, health, and overall social status of women and girls around the world. As a result, millions of women and girls are kept from reaching their full potential.
