Female menstrual hygiene is essential for maintaining health, dignity, and well-being. Proper hygiene during menstruation helps prevent infections, irritation, and unpleasant odors. Women and girls should have access to clean and safe sanitary products such as pads, tampons, or menstrual cups, along with clean water and private spaces to change and dispose of them. Education on menstruation is vital to break taboos and empower girls to manage their periods with confidence. In many areas, stigma and lack of resources still pose challenges. Promoting menstrual hygiene not only supports physical health but also strengthens gender equality and helps keep girls in school.
