She added that it is important to intensify education on menstrual health to boost the confidence of women and by so doing to prevent the shame and stress they go through during menstruation. She made this call while speaking on the floor of parliament on Friday, May 28, 2021, to mark the World Menstrual Hygiene Day celebration. “Mr Speaker, access to safe and dignified menstruation is a fundamental need for women and girls. It is important to ensure that every girl can learn, play, and safeguard her own health without experiencing stress, shame or unnecessary barriers to information or supplies during menstruation. Meeting the hygiene needs of all adolescent girls and women in all settings enables human rights, dignity and public health,” she said.
