Menstrual Hygiene: A Culture of Silence

Menstrual hygiene is a concern for women globally. In Sudan, the lack of knowledge and awareness surrounding  menstruation, especially in rural and conflict areas, along with social, cultural, and religious restrictions, makes it difficult for women and girls to take proper care of their hygiene during their monthly cycle. This can result in many challenges at home, school, and the workplace. Menstrual hygiene is important for the well-being of women and girls. In order to ensure menstrual hygiene for women and girls, it is important for women and girls to be able to manage their periods safely without shame or stigma, but with dignity and confidence.
