The Bangladesh Constitution’s guarantees of equality (Article 27) and non-discrimination (Article 28) explicitly obligate duty-bearers to uphold menstrual justice. To achieve "rights, justice, action," we must move beyond these paper promises. Give up silence to gain voice: We must move menstrual hygiene management (MHM) from a "women's issue" to a collective social responsibility. To sustain and expand these efforts, dedicated funding and resource allocation for menstrual justice within climate budgets are essential to ensure these initiatives are scalable and impactful. However, the path forward requires us to ensure that all climate-resilient infrastructure explicitly incorporates menstrual justice.
