Today is #MenstrualHygieneDay and we want you to hear from the people who remind us why this work matters.
Sharon, 16, thought she was the only one struggling.
Resty, 14, believed her period defined her.
Immaculate, 21, was always left out of the conversation.
Nakato, 28, missed work every single month.
They were not failing.
The world was failing them.
Since inception, Period Talk Uganda has worked across communities with students, parents, market vendors, youth champions, and people too often excluded from menstrual health conversations because menstrual health belongs to everyone.
And the change is real.
Brian, 19, now speaks up when others stay silent.
Paul, 45, now ensures the girls in his home have what they need and are never ashamed.
That is what community led change looks like.
Today we recommit to a world where every girl and woman can menstruate freely and live fully.
For dignity. For equity. For every person.
#MHDay2026 #BreakingSilence #PeriodEquity #MenstrualHealth
Today is Menstrual Hygiene Day , and the mission is clear: Together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld.
That means:
✅ Pads and products within reach
✅ Education without shame
✅ Toilets that are safe, clean, and private
✅ Health services that actually serve
Pads are the start !

SDG 17 is the enabler of menstrual health progress it connects all the moving parts. Without partnerships, efforts remain fragmented, small-scale and less impactful. We are glad to stand with you on this journey.
Glad to have hosted the Dignity In Her Hands training at Makerere University in Partnership with @empowerugyouth, @GreaterImpactA, @Her_Worth_fndn & Malika Foundation.
Grateful for the impact created. Appreciation to Ms. @JoviaKusiima_ for facilitating and Hon. @AsindePhionah.
Empowering women through better period care.
Small change. Real impact.

This International Women's Month, we honor the strength, success, and accomplishments of women around the world. Yet, we must also recognize the challenges many face – particularly in menstrual health. Period poverty affects millions, hindering education, employment.
We stand to raise our voices against gender-based violence. Every action counts; let's demand change, support survivors, and foster a safe world for all !

35M girls in Sub-Saharan Africa are missing out on education — lost potential, unheard voices, futures on hold.
📣 Invest in girls’ education. Invest in Africa’s future.

Beyond Affordability: The True Value of Dignity
In Ethiopia, the cost of a sanitary pad is more than just a price tag; it’s a barrier to education and dignity for many young girls. The expense of menstrual products often means that girls miss school !
