Key Information

Action for Menstrual Hygiene Education is an initiative by Menstrual Hygiene Day to catalyze advocacy, accountability and action on menstrual hygiene education, so that no girl is left behind because of her period. Organisations working on education about menstruation and on menstrual hygiene (MH) have been requested to submit the number of girls educated in 2018, as well as projected goals for 2019 (if available). The results of the survey now provide us and our partners with powerful new ammunition to advocate for more investment and to hold governments, donors, corporates and non-profits to account for more progress in 2020. We are convinced that it is possible that by 2030 all girls are educated about periods and menstrual hygiene when they reach puberty. It’s time for action!
