UK-based non-governmental organisations, Being A Muslim Black Girl (BMBG) and the Feed The Vulnerable Families in Nigeria Foundation (FTVF) have trained students at Wesley Girls Secondary School, Alagomeji, Yaba on safe menstrual hygiene practices. FTVF representative at the event, Mariam Kasali, who spoke on personal hygiene advised the students to always change their sanitary pads at least three times a day irrespective of their types of flow. She added that by doing so, the cervical organ will be free from diseases, especially yeast infection which is very deadly and can result in extreme pains and persistent itching. Kasali also told the students that the menstrual cycle changes in a number of days due to normal age-related hormonal changes and other factors including stress, lifestyle, medications and certain medical conditions.
