Education gives hope to girls & builds their self confidence. Each time girls are denied their right to education, they lose hope in the possibility of making their dreams a reality. Girls deserve to be in school. #GirlsMustLearnUG @aasu_72 @100millionUS @KentPage

Many girls drop out of school every month due to periods.With COVID19 &it’s direct impact on household incomes, it’s hard for parents to provide menstrual products to girls.We need to collectively fight #periodpoverty if we are to advance girls’ education. @UNGEI @nankunda20

Gender-based violence is a violation of Human rights.
We must create safe and inclusive spaces for girls and women.

Investing in sexual/repro health of girls really is transformational. It enables them to stay in school, become educated, plan futures, avoid HIV, and participate actively in development of their communities.

Forced out of school by the pandemic, girls are at higher risk of assault, many times resulting in pregnancies. Millions of girls won't return to the classroom after the pandemic. Pregnancy should not be a barrier in a girl's education.

Did you know that a girl can miss over 30 school days of the annual school calendar due to period poverty? Without period products to manage periods with dignity, girls fail to attend school as they won't be able to participate and concentrate & dont want to risk being shamed.

Globally, 1 in 3 women experience violence in their lifetime. Unfortunately, with COVID19, gender-based violence has intensified.

#MenstrualHygieneDay
Poor menstrual hygiene can pose physical health risks linked to reproductive and urinary tract infections. Providing access to private facilities with water and safer low-cost menstrual materials could reduce risk of urogenital diseases. #MenstruationMatters

You can still pick up COVID-19 contamination on rubber gloves. If you then touch your face, contamination goes from the glove to your face & can infect you. Regularly washing your bare hands offers more protection. #CoronavirusAwareness @Samanth97022152 @mercynh @lionessofAfrika
